Redmond board delays secondary health curriculum adoption for one year
Summary
The Redmond School District board voted unanimously April 23 to defer adoption of secondary health curriculum to the 2025-26 school year, citing limited time to review state-provided materials and a desire to pilot options first.
The Redmond School District Board voted 5-0 April 23 to postpone adoption of secondary health instructional materials until the 2025-26 school year. The item, presented under the heading 'Adoption Postponement of Secondary Health Curriculum,' was introduced by Stacy Stockseth, who said "the district is choosing to defer all adoptions by one year from the state timeline."
Board members said the district needs more time to review and pilot materials before a formal adoption. The transcript records two reasons cited for the delay: the state materials list is not released until December, providing only about six months for review and piloting, and the district can learn from other districts' earlier pilots and adoption decisions. Director Eric Lea moved to defer the adoption; Chair Michael Summers seconded and the motion carried, 5-0.
