Summary
The Instruction Committee's recommendations — the special-education annual plan for 2026–27, Perkins plan for 2026–27, K–5 math and secondary literacy textbook adoptions, calendar updates for 2025–28, and a TNTP literacy-support contract — were approved by the board by voice vote.
The board approved a package of instructional measures recommended by the Instruction Committee on April 21.
Motions approved included the Special Education annual plan for 2026–27, the Perkins plan for 2026–27, recommended K–5 mathematics and grade 6–12 literacy textbook adoptions with supporting materials, and calendar updates for the 2025–26, 2026–27 and 2027–28 school years. Committee members also moved and the board approved a contract award to TNTP Inc for comprehensive literacy support services in the amount of $435,722.
Committee staff presented materials at the committee meeting referenced in the public transcript: the special education annual plan, textbook recommendations, and grants (comprehensive literacy state development grant). Board discussion included questions about textbook adoption safeguards and data privacy for certain digital platforms; a staff member noted that the I-Ready digital platform meets FERPA requirements and that contractual terms can be tightened if the board approves curriculum adoptions.
All motions in this block were seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded dissents in the public transcript. The board directed staff to continue implementation steps and to work with finance and procurement where contract adjustments are needed.
