District implementation team recommends McGraw Hill for 6–12 and Savvas Envision for K–5
Summary
After a multi-stakeholder materials review, the district's implementation team recommended McGraw Hill Reveal Math for grades 6–12 and Savvas Envision for K–5, citing New Mexico review alignment and teacher input; the board discussed state implementation timelines.
District staff and their ANET partner presented the math instructional-materials review and adoption recommendation to the board, saying the process used New Mexico review rubrics, local selection criteria and teacher/community input.
Megan Downey, who presented for ANET, described a three-lens process (standards alignment, community needs and a vision for excellent instruction) and said the implementation team reduced candidates to those scoring 90%+ on state reviews before deeper evaluation. “In grades 6 through 12, McGraw Hill Reveal Math received unanimous support from the implementation team,” Downey said, and the team recommended Savvas Envision for K–5 with majority support.
Teachers and principals participated in reviews and provided feedback that informed the committee’s recommendations. Sixth-grade teacher Maria Carmona described classroom-alignment strengths she observed in McGraw Hill materials: student-friendly learning targets, routines for number sense and a focus on mathematical discourse.
Board members asked whether the recommended timeline aligns with the state's new math framework (Senate Bill 29) and whether full implementation by fall 2028 is feasible. Superintendent Segura said textbook adoption cycles run on a six-year schedule and that the district is planning supports and math-planning work for students who need remediation; if the district falls behind, remedial plans with the Public Education Department would be required.
There was no final purchase or adoption vote at the meeting; staff said the recommendation followed a multi-campus, stakeholder-driven review and that next steps include detailed implementation planning, professional development and a plan for math interventions where students are not yet proficient.
