Canutillo ISD board adopts STEMscopes math curriculum for K–Algebra I
Summary
After a Region 19 presentation and trustees' questions, the Canutillo ISD Board voted unanimously on March 24 to adopt STEMscopes for Grades K–Algebra I; trustees discussed training, past curriculum changes, and data concerns.
The Canutillo Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 24 to adopt the STEMscopes mathematics instructional materials for Grades K through Algebra I following a presentation from Region 19 education service center representatives.
Dr. Jesica Arellano and Dr. Debra Kerney of Region 19 and Ms. Lillian Frazier answered trustees' questions on the differences between Bluebonnet and STEMscopes and on implementation. Trustee Mr. Rodriguez moved to adopt STEMscopes; Trustee Mrs. Maldonado seconded and the roll-call vote recorded all trustees in favor. The motion passed.
Several trustees asked about training and data. Trustee Borrego raised concerns about the "root of the problem" and said there is "missing data or no data to support the use of Bluebonnet," while nonetheless voting in favor of STEMscopes. District staff and Region 19 representatives described how STEMscopes aligns with current standards and what training would be provided to teachers.
The board did not attach a dollar amount to the adoption in the meeting minutes; staff indicated implementation details and any purchase limitations would be addressed in subsequent administrative actions.
