Board presented multiyear curriculum contracts totaling several million dollars and PD for kindergarten teachers
Summary
Board agenda listed multi-year curriculum contracts with Curriculum Associates, Cengage Learning, and Pearson totaling roughly $2.68 million, plus professional development and student agreements; vote outcomes were not recorded in the transcript provided.
Director Greyhead summarized curriculum consent and action items that appeared on the board agenda, including disposal approvals, field trips and several multi-year curriculum contracts.
Greyhead listed five action items: a six-year contract with Curriculum Associates for i-Ready K'8 math resources ($2,268,765), a six-year contract with Cengage Learning (Big Ideas Math) for Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II ($290,400), a six-year contract with Pearson Education for precalculus and AP statistics resources ($120,180.45), a renewal agreement with Pathway School for one DASD student for 2024'25 ($68,750), and a contract renewal with Cartwheel Health Services PC to support student mental health ($66,000), paid by a Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) grant.
Greyhead additionally said the i-Ready purchase is funded from the 2024'25 curriculum capital allocation rather than 2025'26 as originally allocated.
The transcript records the contracts and dollar amounts during the curriculum report but does not include motions, roll-call votes, or recorded outcomes for those items in the provided excerpt. The board also noted approval of a professional development contract with Cindy Cruz Consulting for kindergarten teachers for $19,325 (discussed at a prior meeting).
Board members did not debate contract terms in the excerpt; the items were presented as action items for approval on the agenda.
