Brockton School Curriculum SubCommittee 06/02/2026

The Brockton School Curriculum Subcommittee met on June 2, 2026, to discuss the district's curriculum status, instructional materials, and student achievement data. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the upcoming expiration of several curriculum contracts, including the Wonders literacy program and science materials, which were largely purchased during the COVID era. The committee emphasized the importance of reviewing and potentially procuring new high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) aligned with state standards to support equitable student outcomes. Discussions highlighted the need for sufficient funding to support these curriculum updates, including the purchase of consumables and additional resources such as reading specialists and instructional coaches to address literacy challenges, especially for students below benchmark levels. The subcommittee also stressed the importance of involving teachers in the curriculum selection process and the use of data-driven interventions to improve student literacy outcomes. Action items included mapping out curriculum review timelines, assessing financial implications, and preparing for future procurement and budget discussions related to curriculum materials and support services.
