Discussion Agenda Subject : 8.2 Deleted - Algebra 2 and Geometry Textbook Adoption, presented by Debbie Davis, Math Specialist and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Apr 13, 2015 - Regular Meeting Type : Action Recommended Action : Motion to approve the adoption of Algebra 2 and Geometry Textbooks. Public Content In June of 2014, a recommendation was sent to the OCSD School Board to adopt secondary math textbooks to use in middle school math courses and Algebra 1 courses. Additionally, both the textbook committee and school-vote processes were completed at the high school level for upper level math courses. Books were chosen for Algebra 2, Algebra 2 Honors, and Geometry, and Geometry Honors; however, a recommendation to adopt these courses was not sent to the school board at that time. Two factors weighed into this decision. The district did not have funds to purchase materials for Algebra 2, Algebra 2 Honors, Geometry, and Geometry Honors, and the state-level adoption process was in delay for these courses. A finalized list of mathematics instructional materials was posted to the Florida Department of Education Instructional Materials website on December 18, 2014. In March of 2015, a survey was sent to the teachers of Algebra 2, Algebra 2 Honors, Geometry, and Geometry Honors to confirm a need and desire to adopt the materials voted upon in March 2014. The survey results supported the 2014 committee recommendation to adopt the voted upon textbooks for these courses. At this time, the committee is requesting that the School Board adopt the following materials at the April 13, 2015 School Board Meeting. As per 1006.28 of Florida School Law, the public must have an opportunity to comment on the recommended instructional materials at the April 13 meeting. The public must also be able to access the materials through the district website at least 20 days prior to the April 13 meeting. The online preview was posted on March 20. In an effort to go above and beyond the minimum requirements, the committee has scheduled a Question and Answer Session with the publishers on April 8 in the Niceville Complex Training Room from 4pm to 6pm. This meeting is open to the public and notification is posted on the district website. Print copies of student texts are also available at the Office of Curriculum and Instruction located in the Niceville Complex. The public may review them by contacting Debbie Davis.Please see the attached document for more information. File Attachments Algebra 2 and Geometry Textbook Adoption Letter 2015.pdf (109 KB) 9.
