Tarkington ISD reviews elementary ELA and math materials; Reading Horizons presents program
Summary
Tarkington ISD staff and a Reading Horizons representative presented instructional materials and committee recommendations for elementary ELA and math; the minutes record that prices were shared but do not list specific curriculum titles or dollar amounts.
Tarkington ISD Board Workshop — At its April 14, 2025 workshop, Tarkington ISD heard a presentation on elementary English language arts and math instructional materials from Edie Lang, Director of Elementary Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, and Alison Ward of Reading Horizons. The district’s TES/TECS High Quality Instructional Materials Committee described the materials they had reviewed and offered recommendations and rationale for preferred options.
According to the minutes, Lang and the committee explained the reasoning behind teachers’ preferences and Ms. Lang “provided information on the prices for each curriculum selection.” The minutes do not name the specific curriculum titles recommended by the committee, nor do they list dollar amounts for the options presented. The board did not take a formal adoption vote at the workshop.
Board members thanked the High Quality Instructional Materials Committee for its work on reviewing options for Tarkington ISD students. The minutes record no further action or a timetable for final adoption; any decision would appear on a subsequent board agenda if the district moves toward formal adoption.
