Sweetwater ISD trustees approve switching student supports to IXL for grades 1–8
Summary
Trustees voted 7–0 to adopt 'Option 1.3'—moving from MindPlay and IStation to IXL for grades 1–8 after staff presented the program; implementation timing and budget details were not specified at the meeting.
The Board of Trustees voted unanimously Sept. 16 to adopt the second Option 1.3 for grades 1–8, replacing previous programs MindPlay and IStation with IXL as the district-recommended assessment/support tool. "Dennis Cumbie made the motion to accept the second Option 1.3, for grades 1-8, seconded by Tasha Soto, motion passed 7-0," the minutes record.
Janell Martin presented the staff recommendation that teachers favored IXL as better serving students from grade 1 through high school; Dr. Deidre Parish said the goals themselves have not changed, only the tools used to support them. The board did not discuss specific implementation timelines or detailed budget allocations at the public meeting; Janell Martin said she will update Goal 2 to reflect the change.
