Committee recommends SAVVAS for K–Algebra 2; AP Statistics and Precalculus publishers named
Summary
HPISD staff reported that committee rubric analysis and community feedback favored SAVVAS for Kindergarten through Algebra 2, with BFW Publishers recommended for AP Statistics and Cengage for Precalculus; recommendations will proceed through the district approval process.
The Math Textbook Adoption Committee presented its evaluation to trustees at the April 14 work session. Staff said the committee used a rubric aligned with the HPISD Mathematics Framework and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), and that parent feedback was incorporated into the review.
Dr. Shorr Heathcote told the board that "Both the rubric analysis and community feedback significantly favored SAVVAS for Kindergarten through Algebra 2." The committee's final recommendation listed SAVVAS for Kindergarten through Algebra 2, BFW Publishers for AP Statistics, and Cengage for Precalculus. Trustees received the recommendation as information; the transcript records no final adoption vote at the session. Staff indicated community feedback and rubric results guided the selection process and that next steps would follow district adoption procedures.
