Board defers elementary health adoption, signals intent to continue Amplify Science
Summary
The board voted to delay elementary health curriculum adoption to the 2025‑26 cycle and was notified the district intends to continue using Amplify Science for K‑5; deferment motion passed 4‑0.
District presenters Stephanie Wilcox and Chris Morton told the board that Amplify Science (adopted in 2018) remains ODE‑approved, aligns with Oregon Science Standards and Division 22, and the team intends to continue using it in the next instructional materials cycle.
On elementary health curriculum, Wilcox and Morton said the state materials list was released late (December), so the district will defer the health curriculum adoption by one year to the 2025‑26 cycle to allow adequate review and community feedback. Director Keri Lopez suggested readopting the current materials but acknowledged staff needed time to gather adoption team feedback. Director Amanda Page moved to approve the deferment; Chair Michael Summers seconded. Motion carried, 4‑0.
The board’s action postpones a formal adoption decision for one year and directs staff to gather feedback from the adoption team during the 2025‑26 school year.
