Board reviews curriculum updates, 5th grade posting and testing calendar
Summary
District leaders presented a request to post an additional 5th grade teacher for 2026‑27 because the cohort is about 200 students; curriculum teams updated math and ELA curriculum maps and the board discussed assessment windows including STAR, ACCESS and IAR.
Assistant Superintendent Michelle Martin explained the district will post an additional 5th grade teacher for the 2026‑27 year because the cohort moving into 5th grade is "about 200 students," which will create nine sections. The board approved the posting on a unanimous roll‑call vote.
Martin also summarized curriculum work across buildings: K‑2 literacy walkthroughs, math cadre updates and plans to discuss assessment implementation. CMS math teachers are recommending renewal of Reveal Math by McGraw‑Hill and Martin said she will provide a quote for a six‑year renewal for board consideration at the February meeting. Key testing windows were listed: STAR Winter (Jan. 12‑30), ACCESS (Jan. 15‑Feb. 28) and IAR (Mar. 24‑Apr. 18).
