TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee 4.28.26 - LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee met on April 28, 2026, to discuss various educational initiatives and updates, with a strong focus on curriculum and instructional improvements. Key procurement-related topics included the relaunch of the Math Expressions curriculum with a new 2026 edition publisher, Heinaman, replacing the previous publisher. The committee reviewed the early adopter process involving selected teachers to pilot the updated curriculum and online platform, aiming for a districtwide rollout in the 2026-2027 school year. The discussion highlighted the importance of professional development, monitoring implementation fidelity, and integrating tier 2 interventions to support students needing additional help. Funding sources such as 31A and 31N categoricals were discussed in relation to staffing and intervention programs, including behavioral support and mental health initiatives. The committee also previewed plans for a May study session to delve deeper into academic achievement goals, intervention expansions, and budget allocations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the curriculum publisher change and associated training represent significant procurement-related activity.
