The board heard a recommendation to purchase a three-year social-emotional learning curriculum for $55,949.28 to create districtwide consistency after a pilot and committee review; the administration emphasized phased implementation and privacy safeguards.
District staff recommended purchasing a social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum to create consistent SEL instruction across grades.
Unidentified Speaker 2 explained the recommendation followed a pilot and multiple curriculum-committee meetings. The proposed purchase is a three-year subscription priced at $55,949.28. Staff emphasized the district will not abruptly replace teachers' materials upon approval; rather, the plan is phased implementation with training and fidelity monitoring.

The presenter framed the purchase as supporting district goals adopted during the 2023–24 school year to provide resources and training for social and emotional well-being and to explore improvements in SEL implementation and curriculum. The board asked no further substantive questions in the recorded segment.
