The Lexington 03 School Board voted unanimously to adopt the administration’s recommended textbooks for the 2024–25 school year.
At the meeting, a board member who identified herself as Miss Carrie moved “to accept the administration’s recommendation to adopt the proposed textbook for the 2024 25 school year.” The motion was seconded by Miss Balight and, after no discussion was recorded, members raised their hands in a unanimous vote.
Board discussion immediately prior to the motion included concerns that a one‑size‑fits‑all “basal” curriculum produces identical materials for all students and can conflict with the district’s stated goal of personalized learning. One speaker said the district “cannot say that out of one side of our mouth and then not provide different texts for kids in classroom.”
The administration did not present any changes to the proposed materials at the vote. The board provided no recorded abstentions or individual roll‑call votes; the motion was recorded as passing unanimously.
The board moved next to other policy items before later entering an executive session to discuss a student appeal and personnel matters.
