The Maricopa Unified School District is getting ready to invest in a new science curriculum.
The district is evaluating potential vendors to provide both curriculum and textbooks to all the district’s K-12 schools at a cost of about $1.7 million.
According to the district, the Teaching and Learning department is responsible for the adoption process, which starts with teachers voting on the curriculum, followed by Governing Board approval, purchase of the materials and delivery, which will come in time for the start of the 2021-22 school year.
Student achievement data will be reviewed each semester using benchmark data and yearly using state assessment data.

The Maricopa Unified School District tackled two issues appropriate to the fast-approaching end of the school year at its governing board meeting Wednesday – retirement and vacations.
The district voted 5-0 to approve retaining Educational Services Inc. as its vendor for staffing placement services for both certified and classified personnel for the 2021-22 school year. This is important to many employees who may be eligible for state retirement but wish to keep working in their current position.
When district personnel want to “retire and rehire,” Arizona law requires them to work for an outside entity for one year before they can return to work for the district.
