Curriculum & Programming Board Committee Meeting (October 21, 2026)

At the October 21, 2026 Riverside Local Schools Curriculum & Programming Board Committee meeting, members discussed a career pathways exploration grant, with 10 grants expected to be awarded statewide. District staff are coordinating with Auburn Career Center on a joint application; the scope may extend to other Lake and Geauga County districts. No grant award or related spending approval was reported. Staff also described plans to evaluate English language arts curriculum options for grades 7–8: teachers will review materials from several potential providers, and the district aims to pilot a selection beginning in January before considering adoption for fall 2027. Pilot materials are being provided on loan, although consumable workbooks may require purchase; no vendors, prices, contract amounts, or purchasing decisions were identified.
