Middletown BOE Regular Work Session Board Meeting 5/11/2026

The Middletown Board of Education held a regular work session on May 11, 2026, which included several presentations and discussions relevant to district operations and educational resources. Key procurement-related topics included the introduction of new science and math textbook adoptions for grades K-8. The district proposed adopting Discovery Ed Mystery Science for grades K-3 and Savvas Interactive Science for grades 4-8, both featuring digital platforms and hands-on kits. For math, the district unanimously selected Amplify Desmos, a fully aligned digital platform with teacher editions and optional manipulatives. The adoption process involved piloting and staff feedback, with a planned three-year phased implementation. Additionally, the district is developing an AI policy and guidelines through a newly formed task force to address technology integration in curriculum and operations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the textbook adoption represents a significant procurement decision for instructional materials.
