Summary

After a year-long review process, staff recommended the district adopt Wit & Wisdom (K–5) and Functional Phonics & Morphology (grades 4–5) as the elementary English language arts curriculum; the recommendation will come back for formal action at a future meeting.

District staff reported on the K–5 English Language Arts curriculum review that ran from December 2024 through April–May 2025 and recommended adoption of specific materials.

The minutes summarize the process: a Literacy Committee with classroom, EL, special education and instructional leaders conducted vendor meetings and reviews; a May 2 vendor fair invited staff and community input. Resources reviewed included EL Education and Wit & Wisdom; the committee recommended adopting Wit & Wisdom and Functional Phonics & Morphology. The minutes frame this as a recommendation to be brought forward for action at a subsequent meeting rather than an immediate approval.

Board members were informed of the committee's recommendation and next steps; no final adoption vote is recorded in these minutes.
