Monson subcommittee will not renew IXL contract, considers MAP testing as replacement
Summary
The subcommittee recorded that the IXL contract will not be renewed at the end of the school year and discussed adopting MAP testing for formative assessments, noting MAP’s use through high school and a reported price parity with IXL.
The Monson School Committee Curriculum Subcommittee recorded on Jan. 13, 2026, that the district’s IXL formative-assessment contract will expire at the end of the school year and will not be renewed. Committee members discussed using MAP testing as an alternative for formative assessment.
The minutes note that MAP testing is widely used for formative assessment in many districts and runs through high school. Committee members also recorded that MAP would be similar in price to the current IXL contract. No formal procurement decision or vote was recorded at the meeting; the discussion was listed as an update on the formative assessment program.
Any final decision about changing assessment vendors, contracts, or procurement pathways was not made during the meeting and would require follow-up with district procurement staff and the full school committee.
