Summary

K–5 teachers and the curriculum team favor adopting the updated Wonders (McGraw-Hill); a McGraw-Hill representative presented updates and staff will bring a quote for a six-year renewal to the March board meeting.

The district’s K–5 ELA curriculum team, after meeting with teachers and receiving a presentation from a McGraw-Hill representative, recommended adopting the updated edition of Wonders for K–5 instruction. Michelle Martin, Director of Data Reporting and Programs, said teachers "overwhelmingly want to adopt the updated edition of Wonders by McGraw-Hill," and that she will work with the vendor on a quote for a six-year renewal to present for board consideration in March.

The faculty council echoed the recommendation during its report and noted continued coordination with Martin as staff roles change later in the year. The board did not take formal adoption action at the Jan. 23 meeting; staff will return with cost estimates and a formal recommendation.
