District staff presented proposed instructional‑materials adoptions for kindergarten through 12th‑grade English language arts, K–3 intervention resources and a personal financial‑literacy course for the 2026–27 school year. The superintendent recommended the adoptions as part of a broader effort to improve literacy outcomes.
Board member Ms. Dell presented the package and the board moved and approved the recommendation without dissent; the motion passed 5–0. Supporters said evidence‑based literacy instruction is central to raising reading proficiency; one public commenter and several speakers later emphasized that improving literacy must be paired with community supports for students with special needs.
The adoption authorizes staff to implement the new materials in the next school year; budgetary and implementation details will be managed by the district’s curriculum and instruction office.
