001discussion only 13.05. >> Yes, >> it has to do with uh purchase of phonics and foundational skills curriculum from HC software DBA reading horizons. >> Yes. So I see that this is our last year to ratify this uh curriculum. Is that correct? Like from the previous agreement back in 2021? Yes. Okay. So my big question about this one is um since this is like the last year that we're going to approve this um or hope or I don't know depending on the board I guess you could say um how do how are we ensuring that this curriculum in particular is supporting our student outcome focused governance needs um since this is kind of something that was done four years ago. So this is not >> what was you're saying in the future how will it
002support or how is it doing at this time? >> Yes, since since we've become a student outcome focused governance board um in district um how do we know that this uh curriculum is not out of date um with our new goals coming in? >> Well, NWA data. Yes. So we continue we recognized this is a deficit across our district um more than four years ago that some of our kids had phics and phenemic awareness gaps. So before our SOFG work came about we were already um providing intervention and support as a part of our core curriculum in the area of phonics and phmic awareness. We'll continue to track that trend data um to ensure that this product is meeting the needs and filling the holes and if it's not then we would bring to you
003a recommendation for a different product. Um, at this time, Reading Horizons has been a great partner providing on-site and job embedded PD not only to principles but teachers in real time in the classroom with our students um for how to use uh their materials and then us again tracking the outcomes of students all along the way. They have an updated version that we're moving to um it'll be V9. So we are um in the space of purchasing their most upto-date version that we'll be implementing across schools this year that directly aligns with our literacy goals that you all have set for us. >> Okay. So this so this next year it's going to be the updated version. >> Yes ma'am. >> Has the past four years like in terms of student outcomes has it been
004working? >> Yeah. Growth again just our NWA trend data reports. We can bring you specific phonics um data if that's something that you would like to see where we can show you that um trend up in closing gaps with phmic awareness and phonics skills. >> Absolutely. And do we kind of remember why we started back in 2021 using this because I know that was right after COVID. So did that have um any reason why we chose this? Thank you. Did you just answer and said that we knew across the district we were having there were gaps with children with phum phenemic awareness >> and phonics skills. We we recognized a deficit four years. >> So they use the data to find a gap to fill a gap. >> Okay. Pretty cool. Um all right. Just
005wanted to make sure we're still updated on that. But thank you. >> Yep. >> Okay. I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Call the vote. While we're waiting for the vote, I did want to take a moment to say we will forever miss executive director of athletics Eddie Wright, but I don't know if y'all notice got a pretty exciting someone out there in the audience who has been a great OKCPS advocate. Mr. Shane Sanders is being brought to us for the new executive director of athletics. The kids are going to be blessed by you. >> Having having received six I votes and zero nay votes. The motion carries. >> Thank you. That brings us to the end of our uh agenda. Is there a motion to
