# TCAPS Board of Education Study Session 10.26.26 - LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education study session on October 26, 2026, focused on academic goals and interventions under the district’s strategic plan, especially literacy and math achievement. Staff reviewed test results, curriculum implementation, teacher coaching, and tiered student supports. Procurement-related discussion included the CKLA curriculum and its publisher-provided Amplify coach, whose one-year support was included in the existing contract; Math Expressions, which has two years remaining on its contract; a paid Delta Math/Simplify Math license; and a one-year pilot contract for Class Companion. Staff also said they were screening outside tutoring vendors for a competitive state grant that requires external providers. No contract award, purchase approval, or procurement-related vote was identified.

The board discussed potential costs and resource needs, including about $375,000 for expanded summer school, approximately $930,000 to add 30 school days at two elementary schools (with possible additional costs for air conditioning), and a possible $500,000–$750,000 increase if math intervention were staffed with certified teachers. Staff described larger potential initiatives as costing roughly $3 million, or $5 million with math curriculum changes, amid concerns about deficit spending and funding restrictions. These were exploratory estimates, not approved allocations; the board’s consent calendar was approved, but no specific procurement action was taken.
