Summary

After review and field-testing since 2024 and community input in December 2025, the board voted to adopt CommonLit 360 for grades 9—12 to align curriculum and support common assessment development across both high schools.

The Lakeville Area Schools board voted to adopt CommonLit 360 as the recommended English language arts core resource for grades 9 through 12.

Staff described a standards review and field-testing process that began in 2024, community review in December 2025, and a Teaching and Learning Advisory Council recommendation that moved the adoption to the board. Trustees asked whether the resource would support cross-district alignment and common assessments; a district representative said teachers on both "sides of town" would have the resources needed and that the tool would support creation of common assessments tied to MCA lead-up metrics.

Board members also noted that community members may review curriculum materials once assessments are in place. The adoption was approved by voice vote at the meeting.
