TCAPS Boad of Education Curriculum Committee Meeting 5.26.26- LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee met on May 26, 2026, to discuss several educational initiatives and updates. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the adoption of a new middle school science curriculum, MySci (Myar), selected after a multi-phase evaluation process involving vendor presentations, teacher feedback, and pilot testing. The committee reviewed the curriculum's alignment with state standards, costs (approximately $97,000 for the first year including lab kits), and implementation plans over five years. A motion was passed to recommend this curriculum adoption to the full board for approval, with the finance committee to handle the purchase authorization. Additionally, the meeting covered updates on evidence-based reporting grading practices, AP research courses, and technology usage policies, though these did not involve direct procurement actions. The committee also acknowledged the contributions of a departing member and discussed ongoing efforts to improve curriculum coherence and digital citizenship education.
