The SCCS Board of Education’s Academic Achievement & Policy Committee of the Whole met on November 9, 2026. The committee reviewed instructional materials and related spending. Staff reported that previously board-approved purchases totaling $50,000 for K–5 special-area teachers were mostly delivered, with some items still outstanding. A quote of $40,887, including shipping, was presented for middle-school social studies materials for grades 6–8, including classroom textbook sets and teacher resources. Members discussed whether to add materials for eighth grade and whether to wait for a new edition expected in the summer; the transcript records discussion but no vote or approval of this quote.

Staff also reported that elementary special-education resource rooms were due to receive Bridges math manipulative kits, and members discussed seeking grants or community donations for unfunded requests such as technology equipment. No procurement-related motion or action item was formally approved in the transcript. Other discussion covered professional learning, student achievement data, curriculum alignment and inventory, and a proposed comprehensive health advisory team.
