Molalla River SD 35 board adopts recommended social-studies curriculum
Summary
The Molalla River SD 35 board voted unanimously to adopt a recommended social-studies curriculum after staff presentation; one board member raised concerns about an eighth-grade book they felt was critical of America but ultimately voted to approve the package.
The Molalla River SD 35 board approved a recommended social-studies curriculum on May 14 following staff presentation and review.
Dr. Tony Mann presented the curriculum recommendation and answered questions. One director said they reviewed the materials extensively and noted that a single eighth-grade book appeared to present a critical view of America, but otherwise praised the teachers’ selection and the breadth of biographies and texts. Board members discussed the materials briefly and then voted by roll call; the transcript records unanimous "aye" responses and the chair announced the motion carries.
No specific curricular amendments were recorded on the public transcript excerpt. The adoption was presented as the board’s formal approval of the recommended materials; staff will proceed with implementation in classrooms per the district schedule.
