District 95 partners with District 96 to review five middle-school math programs
Summary
District 95 announced a collaborative review with District 96 to evaluate five middle school math curricula as phase one of a three-year review and implementation timeline; staff will refine placement rubrics to ensure equitable placement.
Cathy Cannon, presenting under Administrative Reports, said District 95 is collaborating with District 96 to review five middle school math programs as the first phase of a three-year curriculum review and implementation timeline. Cannon credited Jeff Thompson and Anna Hartley for work on a student placement rubric intended to make placement decisions "consistent, equitable and guided by meaningful data."
The review will aim to identify instructional gaps and existing supports across both districts; Cannon described the effort as a cooperative process to align practices and improve placement. No adoption decisions or timelines beyond the three-year framing were recorded in the public minutes.
