Board adopts K–12 curriculum materials, including K–5 social studies and a 6–12 textbook adoption
Summary
The board approved K–5 social-studies materials ($369,560), art-education software (~$67,000), Quaver music ($7,000) and a grades 6–12 social-studies adoption described as just over $800,000; each adoption was approved by motion and vote.
The Limestone County Board of Education approved multiple curriculum adoptions for K–12 instruction, including both instructional materials and software.
For K–5 social studies the board approved a six‑year adoption listed in the record at $369,560. The board then approved purchase of art-education software for K–5 at approximately $67,000 for a six‑year term, followed by adoption of Quaver Ed and MusicPlay Online for K–5 at $7,000. The board also approved McGraill social-studies materials for grades 6–12 at a total cost recorded in the meeting as "just over $800,000." Several members asked clarifying questions during the motions—one asked whether the K–5 purchase was books or software—but each item passed by voice vote with no recorded dissent in the transcript.
Board supporters described the adoptions as part of multi-year curriculum plans; the record shows unanimous approval on the items presented.
