Sto‑Rox Board Approves Consent Agenda, Curriculum Pilots and Program Renewals
Summary
After the superintendent's report the Sto‑Rox SD board approved multiple consent items including budget and personnel blocks, federal program applications, curriculum pilot selections (math-for-trades and K–6 curriculum reviews), and multi‑year Lexia licenses.
The Sto‑Rox School District board approved several consent and program items following the superintendent's presentation, covering fiscal, curricular and personnel matters.
The board considered and approved routine consent blocks (items A1–B1 and C1–F10) and moved through a series of single‑item approvals that included revising the Act 93 agreement (adding a third tier, realigning positions and including Juneteenth as a holiday), accepting small donations and approving a leasing agreement with the AIU for an additional classroom through June 30.
Administrators presented a consolidated federal programs application that lists estimated Title allocations for federal programs and asked the board to approve submission of the application. The transcript lists Title I, Title II and Title IV allocations in the presentation; the board approved the consolidated application as presented.
Curriculum and instructional materials: the board reviewed several K–12 resource purchases and pilot proposals. Presenters described a proposed "Mathematics for the Trades" pilot for high‑school students and three K–6 math options (continued Eureka, Eureka Squared and Reveal Math) to evaluate for next year. The administration noted Eureka Squared carries an estimated per‑grade cost (presenter cited roughly $300 per grade level) but may offset current Eureka expenditures; Reveal Math and the trades resource were presented as sample materials with little or no immediate cost in the first year.
Program renewals: the board heard presentations and approved continuing licenses for Lexia products (Lexia Learning Systems for ELLs and Lexia Core/PowerUp), with administration framing the renewals as cost‑effective relative to student counts and outcomes discussed in the superintendent's presentation.
Votes and motions: the record shows the board moved to approve the A1–B1 block, seconded and carried after roll call. A second motion to approve C1–F10 was likewise made and carried. Several other G items (job postings, induction recognitions and personnel items) and an embedded superintendent compensation item were presented and approved. The meeting record indicates multiple affirmative votes during the consent items; specific individual tallies are not listed in the transcript beyond spoken "yes" confirmations at the time of voting.
What’s next: the board scheduled the next meeting for Thursday, August 13, 2026. Several directors encouraged public participation and community attendance at district events before adjourning business.
Notes: All approvals and vote outcomes reported here are taken from the meeting transcript; where a numeric amount or precise voter tally was not audibly clear in the recording, the article notes that the transcript did not specify the exact figure or headcount.
