4. FIRST READING
4.a. *Approval of District’s K-12 Core Literature List, R90-15-16
Speaker:
Anais Wenn
Rationale:

Background

The Governing Board formally votes to approve/adopt all of the District’s instructional materials.

Current Considerations

Since the March 1st Governing Board meeting, it has come to the attention of the Educational Services Department that several literature selections were inadvertently left off the 7-12 grade Core Literature List.  The revised list as presented reflects the addition of these titles and has been verified with 7-12 grade English teachers. 

 Financial Implications

There are no immediate financial implications associated with the Governing Board readopting the current K-12 Core Literature List. 
 
Recommended Motion:

It is recommended that the Governing Board review the Core Literature List and vote to readopt the updated list.

Quick Summary / Abstract:

The Governing Board is requested to review the Core Literature List and vote to readopt the updated list.
