C11 - Permission to Publish an advertisement for Algebra I with Financial Literacy Adoption
The Instructional Resources Department is seeking the permission to advertise to the public in the Clay Today that the Algebra I with Financial Literacy course is up for adoption. A public hearing will be held at the board meeting on May 4, 2017.
Financial Algebra is a new, district adopted NCAA approved mathematics course designed to meet the needs of all students; standard, CTE, and accelerated track students. This course can be used to meet one math credit for graduation, Bright Futures, and university admission. The financial literacy focus of this course provides a real-life framework to apply upper-level mathematics standards. In our consumer-based society, a mathematics course that addresses the results of financial decisions will result in more fiscally responsible citizens. This course will give students the opportunity to apply mathematics found in financial topics such as personal investments, retirement planning, credit card interest, and savings. It is the recommendation of the committee that the textbook Financial Algebra: Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications, Robert Gerver | Richard J. Sgroi , ISBN-13: 9781337271790 , 2nd Edition © 2018 be submitted for review and approval.
Algebra I with Financial Literacy is up for adoption. State Statute 1006.283 requires a public hearing be posted in a publication 30 days prior to the event in order for the public to be made fully aware of the District's intentions.
The public is made aware of the hearing in order to have a voice in the final selection for Algebra I with Financial Literacy.
Engage community members and teachers to establish their voices as advocates for Clay County students.
Instructional Resources is asking the Clay County School Board to approve the publishing of an advertisement in the Clay Today, informing the public of a hearing on the newly vetted Algebra I with Financial Literacy course. A Textbook Adoption Committee of certified high school teachers met to vet the options for Financial Algebra. The committee members consisted of one representative from each high school in the Clay County School District. The review process was conducted and guided using Student Achievement Partners Instructional Materials Evaluation Tools (IMET), a review of the Florida Standards for Financial Algebra found in CPALMS, and was verified via a state approved feedback form that the committee used to report their findings. The District Committee approved the teacher's first choice after reviewing their consensus forms.
In accordance with the Florida State Statute 1006.283, the CCSB is required to give prior notice of newly selected curriculum.
