After a division‑wide review aligned to Virginia SOLs, the Scott County School Board approved a seven‑year math textbook adoption—K–5: Kiddom Virginia Math ($443,326.32); Grades 6–12: Mathspace Virginia Math ($197,994.00)—with Math Innovation Grant funding planned to support implementation.
The Scott County School Board approved a seven‑year mathematics textbook adoption on June 2, selecting Kiddom Virginia Math for kindergarten through fifth grade and Mathspace Virginia Mathematics for grades 6–12.
The packet summarizes a division‑wide review aligned to the 2023 Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning in which teachers and principals evaluated print and digital resources. For K–5 the recommendation was Kiddom Virginia Math, described in the packet as the highest‑scoring elementary option and proposed at a total cost of $443,326.32 for a seven‑year adoption (student materials, teacher resources, manipulatives and professional learning supports included). For grades 6–12 the recommended vendor is Mathspace Virginia Mathematics; the packet lists a seven‑year proposed cost of $197,994.00 and details such as teacher editions, digital licenses, professional development and AI‑driven tutoring supports. The packet also states the division plans to utilize Math Innovation Grant funding to support the purchase and implementation.
The motion to approve the textbook adoption passed unanimously. The packet notes next steps: finalize purchase orders, place materials on order for the 2026–27 school year and begin professional development and implementation planning with district math leadership.
