What this document actually says
This document announces a public hearing scheduled for September 15, 2026, where the school board will review whether the district has enough textbooks and instructional materials for the upcoming school year.
The hearing includes a presentation by the superintendent, public comment time, and a vote on a resolution certifying that Reed Union School District has sufficient materials that align with California's state curriculum standards. California law requires districts to verify annually that every student has access to the books and materials they need for their classes.
This is a routine annual process. The notice was posted at all school sites and at the district office on August 31, 2026, to give families and community members time to participate.
What this means for your family
This hearing confirms that every RUSD student will have the textbooks and learning materials they need for the 2026-2027 school year. If you have concerns about whether your child has the books or materials required for any class, this is an opportunity to raise those issues publicly before the board votes to certify everything is in order.
The hearing is open to all families, teachers, and community members who want to comment on instructional materials.

Candidate perspective
This annual hearing is required by state law, and it's usually straightforward, but it matters. I want to make sure we're not just checking a box. Families should feel confident that when we certify sufficiency, it means every student actually has what they need, not just that we've met a technical requirement on paper. If there are gaps in materials or curriculum resources, this is the time for our community to speak up.
