Summary
Trustees approved recommendations to adopt Bluebonnet for elementary math and certain reading grades, HMH for K–2 literacy and McGraw Hill for several secondary math courses; the board voted unanimously on the package.
The Castleberry ISD school board voted to adopt a package of instructional materials recommended by teacher review committees for the 2026–27 school year.
The adoption approved by trustees includes Bluebonnet math K–5 and Bluebonnet reading for grades 3–5; HMH updated reading materials will remain for K–2 English and Spanish early literacy; and McGraw Hill was approved for secondary math courses including Algebra II, Geometry and Precalculus. Presenters said committees used rubrics and teacher feedback, and that the selection process emphasized teacher voice and alignment with TEKS.
Board action: A trustee moved to approve the instructional materials adoption recommendations and the motion carried 5–0.
Why it matters: New adoptions are scheduled to be ordered and piloted in spring so teachers can receive professional learning prior to a full rollout in August; materials decisions affect classroom instruction, pacing and student resources.
What’s next: District leaders will finalize orders, plan teacher training and pilot materials in May before full implementation next school year.
