Committee recommends Century 21 accounting textbooks for Germantown High; estimates ~$16,000 for two classes
Summary
After a presentation from staff and the accounting instructor, the committee forwarded a positive recommendation to finance to purchase updated Century 21 accounting texts for Germantown High School (estimated $16,000 for typical enrollment; per-book cost roughly $128).
The committee voted to forward a positive recommendation to the finance committee to approve new Century 21 accounting textbooks for use at Germantown High School beginning in the 2026–27 school year.
Mysiak said the proposal replaces books that are roughly 20 years old and that the recommended package would furnish two classes at a total cost of about $16,000, with each student book costing about $128. He noted the instructor who recommended the text has reviewed the latest editions and that staff will seek the newest available edition (12th edition, if obtainable at the same cost) prior to finance review. "The total cost to furnish those 2 classes for our typical enrollment, is $16,000 with each book costing about a $128 a piece," he said.
A committee member moved a positive recommendation to finance to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded, called and carried. Staff said they will bring the publisher quote (including shipping/handling and teacher editions) to the finance committee and will confirm edition availability and final pricing before purchase.
What was decided: the committee forwarded a positive recommendation to finance for the textbook purchase; final procurement will depend on publisher availability and finance approval.
