Sealy ISD adopts Bluebonnet Learning for K–5 math; OER transition plan approved
Summary
Sealy ISD approved Bluebonnet Learning for K–5 math at an initial cost of $49,371.36 and adopted an Open Education Resources transition plan required to access Texas Education Code funding entitlements.
Sealy ISD’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 25 to adopt Bluebonnet Learning as the district’s K–5 mathematics instructional materials. The board approved the purchase, which Superintendent’s staff said will be funded from the Texas Education Agency instructional materials allotment; the initial cost is $49,371.36.
Emily Eschenburg, the district’s Director of Teaching and Learning, told trustees the selection followed a review by the math committee and the Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) grant process. The district also adopted an Open Education Resources (OER) Transition Plan required to access the funding entitlement under the Texas Education Code referenced in the packet. Board members voted 6–0 to approve both the textbook adoption and the OER plan (Motion: Virginia Gilbert; Second: Katy Grigar for the adoption; Motion: Brian Owen; Second: Jay Aguado for the OER plan).
The board packet states Bluebonnet is on the Texas Education Agency IMRA list and that the adoption may generate additional funds for classroom resources. Eschenburg said the materials and the committee’s rubric were included in the board packet to document the selection process.
