English Language Arts Curriculum Community Night

The Tigard-Tualatin School District held a community meeting on May 6, 2026, to discuss the adoption of a new English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum for grades 6 through 12. The meeting included presentations from district staff and representatives from the StudySync curriculum publisher, detailing the evaluation process, pilot testing, and features of the selected curriculum. The district reviewed eight pre-approved curriculum options, narrowed them down, and piloted StudySync and McGraw Hill materials before recommending McGraw Hill. The presentation highlighted the flexibility of StudySync's print and digital materials, student supports such as scaffolds and annotation tools, and engagement features like interactive assignments and peer review. The district invited community feedback and indicated that the curriculum adoption would next be presented to the school board for approval. No specific contract awards or budget figures were discussed during the meeting.
