District outlines textbook and instructional-materials review for 2025–26
Summary
Administration described the district's process for reviewing and adopting instructional materials: teacher teams and department heads submitted recommendations via Google Docs in spring, a needs-and-wants list informs budget, and adopted materials include state-adopted and supplemental resources.
The board heard a presentation about the district textbook and instructional materials for the 2025–26 school year. The presenter explained the multi-step review process: team leaders and department heads submitted suggested materials via a Google document in the spring, teacher teams reviewed usage and made recommendations, and a needs-and-wants list will feed into the budgetary process.
The presenter described how the district assesses usage with technology and other teams to determine whether paid programs are actually being used, and explained the final packet includes state-adopted materials and supplemental resources such as software, computer programs, textbooks and consumables. The presenter emphasized teacher input and usage data as drivers of adoption and called the process collaborative, involving teachers, parents, administrators and other staff.
The item was informational and the presenter invited questions; no adoption vote on new materials was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
