Join a curriculum adoption committee for the 2022-23 school year. 

In addition to continuing the adoption process for 6-12 music, K-8 science and upper-level math, new committees are being formed for a biology and health curriculum adoption. 

We want you to be part of the process. As we transition to the new year we are inviting new members to our current committees and opening spots on our two new committees. 

Families and community members, as well as classified, certificated and administrative staff, are all encouraged to apply.

Applications closed on September 16.

What Do Committees Do?

Committees form a process for how and how often materials are evaluated. They will review materials—books, resources and/or guides—for teachers to use. These materials will be vetted to align with learning standards. With new classroom materials, teachers can spend more time teaching and less time searching for learning resources.

Health Adoption Committee

The committee will meet biweekly beginning in late September through Spring 2023, with additional meetings as needed. Meetings will be on Tuesdays from 4:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

Biology Adoption Committee

The committee will meet bi-weekly (every other week, with adjustments for holidays) beginning in late September 2022, and will meet into the 2023-2024 school year when a recommendation to the School Board is anticipated, with additional meetings as needed.  Meetings will be on Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

Music (6-12) Adoption Committee
