Trustees approved a suite of specials/exploratory curricular materials for art, health, music and world language—including Deep Space Sparkle, HealthSmart, Quaver Music, Make Music and Descubré—at a package cost not to exceed $57,769.45.
District officials presented recommendations from the Specials/Exploratory Curriculum Committee after a yearlong review of standards, samples and vendor demonstrations. The board approved a package of materials covering art, health, music, Spanish and other exploratory subjects at a total not-to-exceed cost of $57,769.45.
The minutes list recommended vendors and programs by grade band: Art (Deep Space Sparkle), Health (HealthSmart and Glencoe Teen Health), Music (Quaver for K–5; Make Music for 6–8) and Spanish (Descubré for 6–8). Administrators said most programs are renewals or follow-on purchases and that professional development would be provided before and during the next school year.
