    The curriculum adoption process includes reviewing state standards, reviewing curricula, putting together an adoption committee, taking a look at EdReports to see the rating of the curricula, verifying alignment and student accessibility, etc. It is important that curricula be accessible online and also accessible for English Learners. The committee includes teachers and administrators from each grade level as well as at least one parent representative. Once the curriculum is selected by the committee, it’s presented to the district Teaching and Learning Council. Then the curriculum is available online for parents and community review and input. The cost is also presented and confirmed with the business office. Finally, the entire process is presented to the School Board for approval.
