Meselovsky Middle School recommends Edgem math resource; board to vote next meeting
Summary
The educational programming committee reported that Meselovsky Middle School teachers recommend adopting the Edgem online math resource for next year; the package is non-consumable and teachers will continue to lead instruction.
The educational programming committee presented two items related to curriculum and school improvement. Committee presenter (speaker 5) said Meselovsky Middle School has piloted an online resource called Edgem this year and that teachers recommended adopting it beginning next year; China Middle School was explicitly not part of this adoption.
"Meslonski Middle School came to share what they are looking to implement, starting next year...they came to an agreement to work with Edgem this year," the presenter said, describing teacher access through Google Classroom and non-consumable materials that reduce annual textbook purchases. The presenter noted staff buy-in and said a formal vote to grant permission to proceed is expected at the next meeting.
The committee also reported on a school-improvement update (year 2 of a three-year cycle) including a pilot in-school suspension plan intended to reduce lost instructional time and a course-renaming change (Chem A/B) to address postsecondary acceptance confusion. The committee placed supporting materials in the meeting packet for board review ahead of a future adoption vote.
