Board approves $393,625.13 for secondary science instructional resources after discussion of specialized and lab materials
Summary
After presentations on specialized AP/honors resources ($38,182.10) and instructional lab supplies ($59,507.87), the board approved secondary science instructional materials as presented, totaling $393,625.13.
Administrators presented two related requests for secondary science: (1) specialized curriculum resources for AP and honors courses (a presenter listed a subtotal of $38,182.10 for selected textbook and program updates), and (2) lab materials and consumables to support implementation of updated grade 6–12 science curriculum (the instructional lab materials request was stated as $59,507.87). Jamie and Kristen reviewed publisher options, lab-kit costs, and plans to preview digital resources for board members.
At the action portion of the meeting the Board of Education voted to approve the presented secondary science instructional resources in the amount of $393,625.13. Speaker 10 moved the motion and speaker 4 seconded; the motion passed 6–0. Administrators said the requests align materials and lab equipment with the Next Generation Science Standards and allow more hands‑on, standards-aligned laboratory experiences for grades 6–12.
