Help choose the new middle school science textbook that will be used starting Fall 2026. This new resource will be central to helping our science teachers engage students in high-quality learning.
Parents and teachers will work together to review and evaluate resources, narrow options to two finalists for public review, and make a recommendation to the School Board (per District Policy 602.30 and 602.30-AR(1)). Review and evaluation will occur during meetings, so parent volunteers need to be able to commit to all the dates.
When/Where: In-person meetings at the District Service Center from 6:30pm-8:30pm on the following dates:
Tue Jan 20th – introduction meeting & finalize rubric
Tue Feb 3rd – review 3 resources
Tue Feb 17th – review 3 resources
Tue Mar 3rd – narrow it down to top 2
Tue Mar 24th – deep dive into resource 1 with the publisher
Finalists on display for public comment Mar 30th – Apr 10th
Tue Mar 31st – deep dive resource 2 with the publisher
Tue April 14th – final discussion and decision
Mon April 27th – Recommend to school board for approval
We need at least 15 parents. If you’re interested, please complete this 🔗brief survey.
