District recommends McGraw Hill Reveal Math (K–8) with ALEKS integration; six‑year price reported
Summary
Instructional staff recommended adopting McGraw Hill Reveal Math (K–8) with ALEKS assessment/learning integration. Administrators reported EdReports alignment, professional development plans and a six‑year cost of about $270,642.
Assistant/Director (presenter) Michelle Cook (transcript: Doctor Cook) recommended the board adopt McGraw Hill Reveal Math for grades K–8 after a multi‑vendor pilot and evaluation process that included Envision and other programs.
Why it matters: Adoption would replace the district’s retiring HMH GoMath product and includes the ALEKS adaptive learning and assessment platform. The purchase carries a multi‑year cost and requires professional development to implement effectively.
What the presentation covered: - Rationale: HMH retired GoMath and the district conducted a vendor review and pilots in 2024–25 across buildings. Reveal (McGraw Hill) was recommended after building pilots and EdReports reviews. - ALEKS: The presenter described ALEKS as an adaptive, online assessment and learning system that creates individualized learning pathways and provides real‑time data. The district plans targeted professional development for ALEKS because of its complexity. - EdReports: Presenters said Reveal met expectations across K–2, 3–5 and 6–8 gateway reviews cited (emphasis on major work, coherence, formative and summative supports, and teacher support materials). - Cost: The presenter reported a total six‑year cost of $270,641.95, which the district proposes to amortize over multiple budget years.
Board discussion: Trustees asked about which buildings piloted the products and whether all buildings supported the same adoption. Presenters said middle school and discovery (middle grades) recommended Reveal earlier and that elementary teachers who piloted both materials came around to Reveal after additional review. Board members asked about parent components and materials for younger grades; presenters said they would follow up with specifics.
Outcome: The adoption was presented as a recommendation and discussion item in the meeting transcript; the transcript records discussion and questions but does not show a formal roll‑call vote on final adoption during this meeting.
