Mr. Spring noted that the staff committee spent the better part of the past year in review of textbooks based on specific criteria such as skills, readability, ease of use and local and stated curricula and standards.
 
Mrs. Karpp and Mrs. Rutan shared and reviewed a summary of the committee’s recommendations. (copy filed in clerk’s agenda file, this meeting). The textbook currently in use is more than twenty (20)-years old. They reviewed the rationale for recommending the Harcourt Brace text, noting how it integrates study skills and literature and makes excellent use of illustrations, timelines, vocabulary and references.

Samples were available for review by trustees.
 
Mrs. Lyke stated she was pleased with the use of use illustrations and literature items in the text.
 
Mr. Ratcliffe asked if there was significant cost difference among the three final texts the committee considered. Mrs. Karpp noted that the prices were comparable; their final choice was based on the text that is the user-friendliest and best conveys the material to the children, including many authentic photos and enrichment opportunities.
 
Mr. Ratcliffe asked if font size of the text would become an issue; Mrs.Rutan the pages were well designed.
 
Mr. Johnson asked if each child would receive an activity book and how much the textbooks would cost. The teachers stated that each child would purchase an activity book and the proposed text cost is appx, $40 each.
 
Mr. Havens noted that the content and curricula for third grade social studies is the communities of the world and is the first exposure for children to cultures and countries outside of their local home community.
 
Mr. Robusto stated that it appears the committee has made a good selection. He asked what happens to the former textbooks. Mr. Havens stated that policy is in place for disposition of surplus textbooks.
 
(Mr. Wyse left the meeting @ 8:15 p,m.)

Mr. Johnson asked Mr. Havens to extend compliments to Mrs. Senecal on the excellent written materials presented to the Board of Education about the proposed trip. He asked if the school district would purchase event insurance. Mr. Havens noted that school board policy provides that parents sign a waiver indicating they would not hold the school district responsible if the trip were cancelled.
Mr. Johnson noted the experience of students and families in another school district where local businesses had to step in to help parents cover costs for a similar trip when a travel agency declared bankruptcy and cancelled a trip.
Mrs. Lyke stated she also feels the proposal and outline for the trip is well developed. She stated that the number of allowed detentions seems high and asked if it is the same for the senior trip. She would prefer that the number were much less. Ms. Young stated it is the same for the senior trip, in April.
