Committee hears recommendation to adopt 'American Pageant' and a six-year consumable for AP U.S. History
Summary
Staff recommended purchasing the Cengage title American Pageant for AP U.S. History, two classroom sets and a six-year consumable workbook (Fast Track 205); presenters said teacher and student online access is included.
District staff told the committee the district’s current AP U.S. History textbook will fall out of compliance with College Board requirements (textbooks must be under 10 years old). The review committee recommended American Pageant (Cengage) and adding two classroom sets and a six-year consumable called Fast Track 205 to support writing and AP exam preparation.
A presenter confirmed online access for teachers and students is included in the purchase. The committee did not record a formal vote at the meeting; administrators said they could place the textbook recommendation on the February board agenda if the committee prefers to finalize after the pilot and other spring agenda items.
