CMAC Meeting: October 22, 2026

The Northshore School District CMAC meeting on October 22, 2026, reviewed curriculum materials and adoption processes. The committee unanimously approved In Focus, Sixth Edition: Curso Intermedio de Lengua Española as core materials for grades 10–12. A motion was also made to approve the Sports, Exercise, and Health Science Course Companion as core materials for grades 11–12; the transcript does not record a clear vote tally. The June 1, 2026, meeting minutes were presented for approval, with no amendments identified in the discussion.

A Fernwood teacher presented TCI Social Studies Alive: America’s Past for building-level use. Three fifth-grade teachers are using teacher subscriptions and printables, funded for the current year through existing school funding; the presenter said there would be no additional cost to the district. Members discussed concerns about treating the material as supplemental when it could function as core curriculum, the need for a broader district review of alternatives, and concerns about some historical framing and accuracy. No decision or vote on the TCI request is captured in the transcript. The committee also planned to review CMAC policy and procedures and consider training on curriculum review forms.
