Teachers and principals raise concerns about DAEP changes and urge Bluebonnet alignment
Summary
DAEP teachers and campus leaders told the board they received rushed notices about DAEP restructuring and several staff said Bluebonnet better aligns to TEKS than the current STEMscopes materials.
During the meeting's public comment period, DAEP math teacher Sara Pugh told trustees that DAEP staff were notified of assignment changes in a "rushed manner," creating uncertainty for teachers and students; she said she would email a detailed letter to trustees and the superintendent later that night.
Campus leaders, including Interim CHS Principal Nidia Avila and Assistant Principal Gabriela Hajir, urged the board to consider Bluebonnet for its alignment with TEKS and STAAR content. Hajir said Bluebonnet "aligns with TEKS" and characterized the district's STEMscopes materials as currently used as supportive rather than fully aligned. Commenters emphasized continuity and teacher support if curriculum changes occur.
