The RPS Board of Education Teaching & Learning Committee met on October 2, 2026, to discuss K–12 writing instruction and the district’s technology plan for the 2026–27 school year. District staff and teacher leaders described the shared process-writing approach, how instruction and feedback develop from elementary through high school, and supports for students who need additional practice. The committee also discussed handwriting and typing instruction, vertical alignment, and how educators are addressing generative AI’s effects on student writing and assessment. The committee name change from Curriculum to Teaching & Learning was noted as having been approved recently by the full board.

The committee received an overview of the technology-planning process, including findings from a Tri-State Consortium review and plans to use committees to inform the district’s work. The transcript contains no discussion of contract awards, vendors, purchasing, budget allocations, or spending-related motions or votes; no procurement activity was identified.
