Summary

Jenny presented a revised request for secondary science instructional materials: a custom McGraw Hill "Uber" course for grades 6–8 and repackaged high-school materials that increase the request to $393,625.13 (an additional $34,617.65), funded from the textbook fund.

Jenny presented a revision to a previously approved proposal for secondary science materials, telling the board the change was about packaging rather than content. "The new request is a custom built McGraw Hill course," she said, adding the content itself "has not changed" from the preview materials the board had seen earlier.

Jenny said the revision replaces the original integrated 6–8 package with three customized McGraw Hill courses aligned to district mastery and instructional bundles, and noted a reallocation among high-school courses changed pricing. She said the revised total request is $393,625.13, an increase of $34,617.65, and that the purchase will be charged to the district's textbook fund. No formal vote on procurement was recorded during the presentation; the item was presented for board review and discussion.
