Board adopts secondary health curricula for middle and high school (7-year adoptions)
Summary
The board approved G-W Publishers Comprehensive Health Skills for middle school and Human Kinetics Live Well for high school for a seven-year term, with a not-to-exceed amount of $244,255 through the Northwest Textbook Repository and a 10% shipping contingency.
The board approved secondary health materials on a second reading, selecting G-W Publishers Comprehensive Health Skills for Middle School and Human Kinetics Live Well for High School under a seven-year adoption with a not-to-exceed amount of $244,255.
Dr. Collins reviewed procurement through Northwest Textbook Repository and explained the inclusion of a 10% contingency to cover potential shipping increases if enrollment rises. The motion (MOTION 94) was made by Blake Petersen, seconded by Shawn Farrens, and carried 5–0 with one absence recorded.
Board members confirmed the seven-year adoption term and asked clarifying questions about shipping and contingency; staff said the contingency reflects enrollment uncertainty and is standard in multi-year textbook procurements.
