Washington County board opens 30-day comment period after committee recommends Illustrative Math (Kiddom) for K–6

The Washington County School District Board of Education opened a public hearing Monday and announced a 30-day public comment period after the district's elementary math committee recommended adopting Illustrative Math (delivered via the Kiddom platform) for kindergarten through sixth grade.

District staff said the recommendation follows a committee review of multiple curricula. The public may review the proposed materials on the district website under the “Parents” and “Curriculum” sections and submit comments during the 30-day comment period announced at the hearing.

Monica (elementary math department representative) told the board the district formed a committee to evaluate several math curricula and concluded after “careful evaluation” that Illustrative Math provided by Kiddom should be presented to the board for adoption. Board leaders opened the hearing, called for speakers on the specific topic, and then closed public comment after no members of the public requested to speak during the hearing. Monica said the curriculum is posted on the district’s website and answered a board question about timeline: the hearing starts the 30‑day public comment window, after which the board will consider next steps toward a final decision.

The presentation included an overview of where to find the materials and how the public may submit feedback; Monica said the district will accept and review input received during the public-comment period. The board did not take a final vote on adoption at the meeting.

The district did not provide additional details at the hearing about adoption dates beyond the 30-day comment period, nor did it provide a formal motion or vote on the curriculum during this session. The board directed staff to make the proposal and supporting materials available online for public review.
