Assistant Superintendent Giromini presented the district's recommendation for new 5–12 English Language Arts resources, proposing Great Minds Arts & Letters for grades 5–8 and HMH Into Literature for grades 9–12. After discussion, the Board voted to adopt the recommendation.
"Great Minds Arts & Letters for grades 5-8, and HMH Into Literature for grades 9-12," Giromini said when presenting the recommended materials.
