What this document actually says
This resolution is a formal, state-required declaration that Reed Union School District has enough textbooks and instructional materials for all students in the 2026-27 school year.
California law (Education Code Section 60119) requires every school district to hold a public hearing each year and then vote on whether students have sufficient textbooks and materials. "Sufficient" means every student has their own textbook or instructional materials to use in class and to take home.
The district held its public hearing on September 15 and confirmed that all students, including English learners, have access to materials aligned with state standards in math, science, history/social studies, English/language arts, foreign language, and health. The resolution lists the specific curriculum programs used at each grade level, such as Amplify Desmos Math (grades PK-5), Mystery Science (grades K-5), and Benchmark Advance (grades K-5 for ELA).
The board voted to adopt this resolution on August 15, 2026, formally certifying that the district meets state requirements for instructional materials.
What this means for your family
This means your child should have their own textbook or learning materials for every core subject, and they should be able to bring those materials home. If your student does not have materials to take home or is sharing textbooks in a way that prevents homework or home study, that would be a problem the district is supposed to address.
This is mostly a compliance check the state requires every year. It does not mean the district is buying new materials this year, just that the materials already in use are sufficient and meet state standards.
Lina's read
Candidate perspective
This is a routine annual resolution required by the state, and I'm glad to see the district formally confirming that every student has access to the materials they need. That said, I want to make sure families know this is about legal compliance, not necessarily about whether the curriculum is the best fit for our students. As a board member, I will continue to ask questions about how well these programs are working in practice, especially for students who are struggling or learning English, and whether teachers have the support and flexibility they need to meet every child where they are.
