Board advances multiple curriculum items, opens 30-day reviews for two books and middle-school ELA pilot
Summary
Board members moved several instructional items forward: consumable math workbooks and Connected Math for middle grades, adoption of Into Literature as a middle-school ELA curriculum after a pilot, and a 30-day review of Orbiting Jupiter for Central High pre-AP 9 honors.
At the meeting, the board considered multiple curriculum and instructional-resource items. Chair (S2) described proposed supplemental materials including an EMS tuberculosis-related resource for Eastern Middle, The Secret Life of Groceries for Northern (Project Next), Connected Math for middle grades, and everyday math consumables for grades 1–5. The chair also noted a 30-day review of the middle-school ELA curriculum Into Literature (piloted this year) and a 30-day review of Gary Schmidt's Orbiting Jupiter for Central High's pre-AP honors 9 course.
S2 said the middle-school pilot had "almost a unanimous, vote to go with this into literature." The board placed the items in committee/consent review as part of agenda packet consideration and indicated next steps for public review where applicable.
