District outlines seven-year social-studies curriculum adoption process
Summary
Director of Curriculum Matt Yoshioka told the board that Oregon requires districts to review and adopt curriculum every seven years; Pendleton SD is conducting its social-studies adoption this year and will follow state and district review steps before potential purchase.
Matt Yoshioka, the district's Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, explained that "the state of Oregon requires districts to review, officially adopt, and potentially purchase new curriculum every 7 years." He described the district and state review steps for the 2025 social-studies adoption cycle and answered board questions about timeline and purchase implications.
Yoshioka said the district will follow the Oregon Department of Education process and provided an overview of local review teams and stakeholder input opportunities. The board's discussion focused on scheduling the adoption work and clarifying whether purchases would be required following adoption; no purchase decision was made at the meeting.
