Summary
The board approved a one-year renewal of the Houghton Mifflin 'Into Math' curriculum for grades 6–8 at a stated cost of $62,121.04, funded through the general fund; board members discussed alignment with algebra readiness.
The Wayne-Westland Board of Education approved a one-year renewal of the district’s middle-school math curriculum, Houghton Mifflin’s Into Math, for grades 6–8 at a cost of $62,121.04.
A curriculum presenter requested board approval, stating the renewal cost and recommending funding from the general fund. "Holton Milfin into math 1 year renewal in the amount of $62,121.04 is the total cost and will be funded through the general fund," the presenter said. Committee members praised the presenter for negotiating the price and for phasing future adoptions to reduce the immediate impact on the general fund.
Board member Dr. Weaver asked whether the materials include 7th- and 8th-grade algebra and whether the resources prepare students for high school; the presenter confirmed inclusion and explained the alignment work with intervention teachers. The board voted to approve the renewal by roll call.
