Board adopts new math textbooks for K–12
Summary
Trustees approved a slate of math textbook adoptions for K–12 after academic committee review, approving K–5, middle‑school and high‑school adoptions including AP and precalculus materials; the vote passed 10–0 with one member absent.
The Beaufort County Board of Education approved the district’s recommended math textbook adoptions on March 28, following an academic‑committee endorsement earlier in the week.
The motion, presented by the instructional services team, recommended Curriculum Associates materials for grades K–5, McGraw Hill for grades 6–8, and a selection of high‑school publishers for courses including Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Statistics, Calculus and precalculus. Instructional staff noted digital access options and recommended classroom sets as backups for students who require hard copies for IEP accommodations.
During the discussion trustees asked whether hardcover texts would be available for students with accommodation needs and how the district balances digital vs. printed resources. Instructional staff said some students' IEPs require hard copies and that the district maintains classroom sets as contingency. The motion passed with recorded votes: the chair announced the approval as "10‑0, 1 absent."
