Caswell County Schools asks board to approve $65,898 purchase of Eureka Math workbooks
Summary
Interim Superintendent Stokes asked the board to approve a $65,898.23 purchase to replenish consumable Eureka Math workbooks after a staff survey; board discussion noted 19 teacher responses and plans for pacing- and alignment-focused training.
Interim Superintendent Stokes asked the Caswell County Schools Board of Education to approve a $65,898.23 purchase of Eureka Math consumable workbooks to replenish classroom materials.
Stokes said the district surveyed staff about continued use of Eureka Math and included the survey results in the board packet. He told the board 19 teachers responded and that the purchase would replace consumable workbooks, issuing three workbooks per student as needed.
Stokes said the district provides training at the start of the year and conducts periodic professional development. He said the district is updating pacing guides for grades 3–5 to align Eureka Math with state NC Check-Ins and that i-Ready has been suggested by some staff as a supplemental resource, but the district considers i-Ready supplemental rather than core curriculum.
Board members asked about survey response rates and about supports for teachers. Stokes said staff were repeatedly invited to respond and that the district is surveying to confirm how many students will need replacement sets. He said accounting for materials this year could lower future costs.
The packet included the formal purchase amount and survey summaries; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote result for the purchase in the posted excerpt.
