Board adopts Mathspace as middle‑school math resource, approves $129,393 purchase
Summary
Following teacher and parent reviews, the board approved a seven‑year Mathspace adoption for middle‑school math with a contract cost stated as $129,393; administrators said most of the cost will be covered by a math‑innovation grant.
Miss Bragg presented the review process used to evaluate middle‑school math resources: a teacher committee and a parent review group piloted and rated three vendors. Both teachers and the parent panel recommended Mathspace as the preferred resource.
"After evaluating the books using a rubric, the teachers overwhelmingly selected Mathspace as their preferred choice," Miss Bragg said. She asked the board to adopt Mathspace for the 2026–27 school year and to approve a seven‑year contract that includes digital licenses for all students, class sets of print texts and teacher editions, and an embedded AI tutor feature.
Administration stated the total expenditure would be $129,393 and that a math‑innovation grant is designated to cover the majority of the cost. The board moved, seconded and approved the Mathspace adoption and purchase by voice vote.
Board members asked about parent participation in the review (four parents participated) and whether additional materials or funding would be needed; administrators said the grant and textbook fund would cover remaining costs.
