Board adopts Amplify Desmos middle-school math curriculum at $103,415.20
Summary
The board approved Amplify Desmos for grades 6–8 (including Algebra) at a total cost of $103,415.20 to cover the curriculum and professional development after staff described a rigorous pilot and selection process.
The board voted to adopt Amplify Desmos as the district's middle-school math curriculum for grades 6–8, including algebra, at a total cost of $103,415.20 that covers professional development.
A presenter (S15) described an 18-month selection process that began with five curriculum options, narrowed to two, and included rigorous pilots. As one speaker stated, "they've landed on Amplify Desmos, and I think the team is excited," crediting curriculum leaders and the math department chair for the vetting. Trustees asked questions; the motion to adopt was seconded and approved by roll-call vote.
Staff said the adoption followed a district pilot and alignment review and that professional development costs were included in the stated total.
