Board approves $80,332 purchase of I‑Ready math for grades 1–5
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of I‑Ready math for grades 1–5 at a presented total of $80,332.30; staff said $67,866.68 will come from general funds and $12,465.62 from a grant line referenced in the packet, and discussed state aid projections used to justify the expenditure.
The board voted to approve the districtwide purchase of I‑Ready math for grades 1–5, which staff presented as a total cost of $80,332.30. During discussion staff said $67,866.68 of the purchase would be derived from general funds and the remainder ($12,465.62) from grant funds identified in the packet; staff also noted the district plans to use additional state aid tied to a three‑year average calculation to cover curriculum purchases.
Trustees questioned the price difference between using a combined K–5 program and separate K and 1–5 options; staff said using separate programs for K and grades 1–5 increases the price slightly (about $6,000) but aligns with teacher recommendations. The motion to approve the purchase carried on roll call.
