Board member presses for curriculum inventory and review amid new purchases
Summary
A committee member asked whether curriculum purchases are new or renewals and requested an audit or inventory of current licensed materials by building; staff said these questions belong to the curriculum committee and will provide supporting data.
Committee member (Speaker 4) said the board has not seen a list of current curriculum materials and asked whether recent software line items are renewals or new purchases. She said the board needs to know what is being used in classrooms and whether purchases are duplicative across schools.
Staff (Speaker 3) said preliminary discussions have begun and directed the committee member to the curriculum committee for full answers but agreed to supply the data that the curriculum committee and board requests. No purchase action was made during the finance meeting; the committee recommended that the curriculum committee review licensing and usage before further expenditures.
