Curriculum Committee Meeting - 8/4/2026

The West Bend School District Curriculum Committee met on August 4, 2026, to review curriculum materials. The committee received the annual review of the Second Step social-emotional learning resource, whose digital platform had only minor clarifying updates. Staff reiterated that the district continues its annual review and family communication practices. A newly offered, paid platform component was specifically noted as not aligned with district curriculum and not being purchased, recommended, or used.

The committee also reviewed the 3K–5th grade and 6th–12th grade curriculum presentations. Members generally praised the materials’ layout and accessibility, and requested clarification in the Spanish course overview about where the course sequence begins and when parts 1A and 1B are taught. The editorial changes previously requested for the elementary materials were completed, and the reviewed curriculum was ready to move forward to the School Board. No procurement actions, spending approvals, or contract decisions were identified.
