The Warren County Board of Education voted Feb. 20 to adopt the science textbook recommendations brought forward by the curriculum review committee.

The textbook committee — led by Mike Mansfield, Nicole Crouch, Kathy Bryant and Clark George — recommended K–5 adopt Savvas Elevate Elementary Science and grades 6–8 adopt the Savvas middle‑grade series. For grades 9–12 the committee recommended a set of course‑specific texts listed in the committee packet for biology, chemistry and elective science courses.

Can I get a motion to adopt the recommendations by the textbook committee? The motion was made by Mr. Judkins and seconded by Mr. Brown. The board voted aye and the motion carried; the committee’s recommendations were adopted.

Board members commended teachers who reviewed the materials, noting the committee’s work was extensive and course recommendations were aligned to current standards. The adoption authorizes staff to proceed with procurement and implementation planning for the listed K–12 science instructional materials.
