Boone County presents K—2 curriculum portal and SB 1 consultation for 2025'26
Summary
Superintendent and curriculum staff presented the district's searchable K—2 curriculum portal and said consultation required by SB 1 was performed through principals and two weeks of public comment in April.
Superintendent Dr. Hauswald and curriculum staff told the board the district has completed the consultation required by SB 1 for curriculum selection and launched a searchable K—2 curriculum portal.
The superintendent said the district followed the legal consultation path required by the statute and turned the presentation over to a curriculum staff member who described the portal. The staff member said the district consolidated elementary and secondary formats into a single searchable format: "It is searchable. You can search by content area, by school, by grade level, whether it's a tier 1, tier 2, tier 3." The portal was posted publicly and was open for two weeks of public comment in April; staff reported mostly positive feedback and some concerns about the quantity of technology used in classrooms.
Why it matters: the district said centralizing curricula should help students who move between schools during the year and reduce duplicated purchases. The superintendent said the work is part of the district's leadership priorities and strategic plan to centralize curricula over a four-year timeline.
Next steps: board members were invited to review the portal over the next several weeks and direct curriculum questions to Dr. Hauswald or district curriculum staff.
