Stacy Stockseth presented the high school science adoption team's recommendation and said the team piloted two products — Stemscopes and Savvas — and explored PEER Physics for freshman physics. After review and public preview announcements, Director Eric Lea moved to approve independent adoption of PEER Physics for 9th grade; Director Amanda Page seconded and the motion carried, 4‑0.
Director Page then moved to approve the independent re‑adoption of Patterns Chemistry and Patterns Biology for 10th and 11th grade; Director Lea seconded and the motion carried, 4‑0.

The adoptions finalize curriculum choices for the upcoming instruction cycle and require district staff to implement training and materials distribution.
