Covington board adopts 2026–27 curriculum items and approves routine consent agenda
Summary
The board approved a consent agenda (minutes, claims, one fundraiser, field trips, personnel items), confirmed second readings of a group of policies, and adopted curriculum adoptions for 2026–27 including the Alex math program and new ELA and social studies materials.
At its regular meeting, the Covington Community School Corp. board approved routine consent‑agenda items and adopted several curriculum purchases for the 2026–27 school year.
The consent agenda—covering approval of past minutes (regular session and executive sessions), the claims docket, one fundraiser for the cheerleading team, field trips and the personnel report—was moved by committee member S7 and seconded by speaker S2; the board approved the consent items by voice vote.
On policy matters, the board completed second readings and approved a group of policies that were identified in the meeting as policies 2221 through 3232. There was no substantive discussion recorded on the policies during the second‑reading motion.
On curriculum, the board approved multiple line items: the Alex individualized math program for grades 6–12 (presented as a separate line item), an ELA adoption for grades 6–12 (listed as SABOS ELA) at a packet cost of $6,560, and a digital social studies program for grades 6–8 listed at $5,780. The Alex line item was reported in the meeting as having a cost presented in the packet as “4,004 and $36.64” in the audio; the meeting record did not clarify whether that reflects a single dollar amount or two separate line items. Committee motions were made and seconded for each curriculum item; each passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
During first reading of policy 6250 regarding proof of residency, speaker Vicky said the policy remains unchanged and that acceptable proofs remain documents such as an electric bill, mortgage statement or rental agreement; the board declined to add immunization records as a proof of residency.
The meeting concluded with facility reports about storm damage to outdoor sports infrastructure and an update that underground fiber to the sports complex is expected to be run in coming weeks to restore reliable Internet service.
