Committee member and parent Brady Finogle praised CKLA's knowledge gains for his child but said skills pacing appears inconsistent; he asked whether the district could reinstate the UFly curriculum while staff said it is early to judge after year one.

During the committee discussion, board/committee member Brady Finogle — who spoke as a parent — said he has seen strength in CKLA's knowledge-building for his child but that "skills are lacking," expressing concern about consistency and pacing across lessons.

Finogle asked whether the district could consider bringing back the UFly curriculum; staff and administrators responded that it is premature to remove or replace CKLA after its first full year at the primary level, and that the district will use year-one fidelity data to guide any changes. No formal motion to change curriculum was made at the committee meeting.
