Board reviews proposed high-school math adoption; seven-year purchase estimated at about $50,000
Summary
A math team recommended a seven-year algebra/geometry curriculum package and professional development; presenters said the initial cost would be around $50,000 next year with options to spread payments across two budget years to ease cashflow while retaining a seven-year implementation plan.
District math staff and the high-school math team presented a recommended high-school math curriculum for adoption and described a multi-year implementation plan.
Nick Warman, representing the math team, described the vetting process and said the recommended package includes teacher resources, student materials and professional development. "The cost is going to be about $50,000 for next year," Warman said, adding that vendors offer multi-year payment plans that could split the expense across fiscal years to help the district manage cashflow.
Board members praised the teachers’ review work and noted the adoption follows a multi-year curriculum cycle. Presenters said a seven‑year adoption provides continuity for instruction and assessment, while also including materials such as Spanish-language resources and online practice tools.
What happens next: the board expects to act on adoption in the meeting packet and administrative staff will pursue vendor negotiations and a payment schedule consistent with final budget projections.
