We are excited to share news that will impact the future of learning and teaching to support our English learners! Academic Services is proceeding with a Request for Materials (RFM) for K-8 EL Targeted Instruction. Our students and teachers will soon have new resources aligned to the English Language Proficiency Standards. This RFM will seek core curricular resources to support and ensure Language Acquisition for English learners.  

Through the RFM, the district will complete the adoption process in alignment with ARS 15-721, ARS 15-722, and Governing Board Policy IJJ which includes, but is not limited to, a Textbook Selection Committee whose meetings are subject to Arizona’s Open Meeting Law. In alignment with Open Meeting Law, all agendas will be published online 24 hours in advance of each meeting.  

Beginning tomorrow, April 8, you will have the opportunity to review each of the proposed resources and provide feedback at the District Administration Center (DAC), 6330 W. Thunderbird Rd., Glendale, 85306. In alignment with Arizona Statute 15-721, Arizona Statute 15-722, and Peoria Unified Governing Board Policy IJJ, the materials will be on display for 60 days, until Monday, June 9. The DAC is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.  

To accommodate community members, the DAC will be open for textbook review from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 3, Friday, May 30, and Friday, June 6.
