The Florence Unified School District governing board voted May 12 to approve a new elementary and middle school English language arts (ELA) curriculum.

A board member moved “the governing board approve the elementary and middle school ELA curriculum as presented” and the motion was seconded. The transcript records no substantive public discussion by board members before the vote.

Dr. Smith was thanked on the record; Miss Ericson was referenced as having provided materials and an email summarizing details for board members who missed the prior work session. The transcript does not include curriculum excerpts, publisher names, standards referenced, or the scope of implementation by grade; those specifics were not presented in the recorded meeting remarks.

The curriculum adoption was recorded as approved and was taken up before the board approved changes to school start and end times for fiscal year 2027.
