Board approves $20,029.32 purchase of guided reading sets for GES
Summary
After a teacher presentation, the board approved a $20,029.32 purchase for guided reading box sets and decodable books for Gunter Elementary School, funded from bond proceeds as disclosed in the meeting.
The board approved a final purchase of guided reading materials for Gunter Elementary School totaling $20,029.32, to be paid from bond funds.
A campus presenter described the package as two components: a decodables set (420 books) for early phonics and grade-level guided-reading box sets that include paired fiction and nonfiction texts with teaching resources. "So together for both the decodables in that would be $20,029," the presenter said while outlining teacher feedback that staff would use the materials for small-group instruction.
Board members confirmed the purchase would be paid from bond funds and not general operating dollars; the superintendent clarified the purchase is covered by a portion of bond proceeds earmarked for instructional materials and related equipment. The motion to approve the guided reading purchase was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
