Kenowa Hills staff recommend new English curriculum for grades 6–12
Summary
District staff and teachers presented a recommendation to purchase new English Language Arts curricular materials for grades 6–12 after research and pilot testing; the board received the recommendation but took no formal action at the work session.
Director of Teaching and Learning Dinkelmann, Middle School ELA teacher Jennifer Fussman and High School ELA teacher Lisa Botsford presented the secondary English Language Arts Department's recommendation May 4 to purchase curricular materials for English grades 6–12.
The presenters said the recommendation follows research and pilots of several materials; they brought the proposal to the Committee of the Whole for review and discussion. The presentation covered both middle- and high-school materials (English 6–12) and the district's process for evaluating options.
Trustees received the recommendation as an informational item during the work session; no formal vote or contract award was recorded in the minutes. The recommendation will follow the district's established process for consideration in subsequent meetings and procurement steps.
