Fabens ISD staff recommends upgrading elementary and middle-school reading materials to HMH 2.0
Summary
District staff told the board the elementary English/Spanish RLA and middle-school reading materials will move to HMH 2.0 for next school year, paid from the district textbook allotment; trustees asked questions but did not take a recorded vote in the transcript.
Fabens ISD administrators presented a plan to upgrade the district's instructional materials to the HMH 2.0 edition for elementary RLA (English and Spanish) and for middle-school reading, and said the materials would be paid from the district's textbook allotment (state funds).
"We will be upgrading to the 2.0 version of that HMH," a staff presenter told the board while explaining the instructional materials packet and rollovers that accompany next year’s curriculum. The presenter said the packet identifies rollover instructional materials and that the upgrades will be covered by state textbook allotment monies.
The presenter said the packet was organized and broken down by Canvas and that trustees should find similar information in both the packet and the supplemental sheet provided. Board members asked clarifying questions about whether a particular consent item (5(c)) was being pulled for discussion or excluded from the motion on the floor; that procedural debate took place before any recorded vote on instruction materials within the provided transcript.
If adopted in a later action or following a formal vote, the change to HMH 2.0 would affect elementary and middle-school reading instruction across the district and be implemented using state textbook allotment funding, according to the presentation. The transcript did not record a final board vote or implementation timeline for the change.
