Summary
In a Williams Act public hearing and subsequent vote, the board found instructional materials sufficient after purchasing 150 AP Physics textbooks (about $9,000 plus shipping) to meet state requirements.
The board conducted the required public hearing on the sufficiency of instructional materials for 2025–26 under Education Code requirements and the Williams settlement. Adam Minyard, introduced as the district’s director of continuous improvement and accountability, summarized the verification process and identified one insufficiency: the lack of physical AP Physics textbooks in students’ hands.
To comply with the Williams Act—under which districts must ensure students have board‑adopted, standards‑aligned textbooks in core subjects—the district purchased 150 AP Physics textbooks at a total cost of about $9,000 plus shipping. Adam said the district had earlier provided online access to AP Physics materials but needed physical copies to meet statutory compliance for home use.
With the purchase completed "a week and a half ago," staff recommended the board adopt Resolution 25‑26‑05 certifying the sufficiency of instructional materials; a trustee moved the resolution, it was seconded, and the board approved it by roll call. No public speaker asked to comment on the hearing.
The board’s adoption of the resolution documents the district’s verification process and remedies and restores full compliance with the Williams requirements for the covered areas.
Next step: the resolution will be included in district records and any quarterly Williams reports will follow per state timelines.
