The Curriculum Materials Adoption Committee meeting included the introduction of new members representing equity and diversity perspectives. A key discussion involved revising the curriculum adoption cycle from 7-8 years down to a four-year budget plan alignment, focusing primarily on core content areas. The committee approved the consent agenda item concerning the supplemental curriculum "Writing That Works: Communicating Effectively on the Job" for Grade 12 English. Under new business, the committee discussed the reconsideration of two Phono-Graphix booklets, ultimately taking no action pending further revisions by the vendor to address concerns regarding equity, factual accuracy, and grammar. Furthermore, the committee addressed a request to reclassify The Merchant of Venice, resulting in a motion to approve its use only for grades 10-12 with a specific edition and strict adherence to a newly developed teaching unit focused on antisemitism and historical context.
