Board approves Heinemann materials for K–2 and K–5 literacy with 35j grant money
Summary
The board approved purchases of the Jump Rope Readers classroom bundle ($65,522.16) and K–5 writing units ($59,967.18) from Heinemann using 35j grant funds, with staff developers to deliver professional development to complete curriculum implementation.
The board approved two curriculum purchases from Heinemann to support early-literacy and K–5 writing instruction, both to be funded with 35j grant money. Miss Joseph asked the board to approve the Jump Rope Readers classroom bundle for kindergarten through second grade at a cost not to exceed $65,522.16 and to approve K–5 writing units not to exceed $59,967.18.
Members asked which grades would receive the Jump Rope Readers materials; Miss Joseph said they will cover kindergarten, first- and second-grade classrooms across all buildings and that teacher-college staff developers will provide professional development. One board member said the materials complete prior professional-development work and are needed to implement that training fully. Both purchases passed by roll call.
