On September 8, 2014, the School Board adopted the budget for fiscal year 2014-2015. As the fiscal

decreases in estimated revenues to more accurately reflect revenues; and increases or decreases in
appropriations to more accurately reflect estimated expenditures and/or better utilize funds for schools,
departments, and projects. These amendments facilitate district operations to occur in a positive
manner.
These amendments properly reflect the estimated revenue and appropriations. The amendments show
the estimated revenue and appropriations for each fund and provide a description of the amendments.
Required by S.B.E. rule 6A-1.006.

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.
