The School Committee unanimously voted to approve new math curricula for elementary and middle schools and a pathway toward the creation of a specialized high school math curriculum on Monday.

The School Committee had a presentation about the curriculum proposal last week but chose not to vote then, because they wanted more time for public input.

Public input was mostly in favor of the proposed changes.

For elementary and middle schools, the district will adopt Amplify Desmos Math programming.

High schools will get a specially crafted curriculum created by a consultant with input from NPS.

“We expect it also is the path forward, so that our high school staff are not pitted against each other, and they’re not  battening down the hatches against a particular curriculum adoption,” Superintendent Anna Nolin said.

The vendor being sought for that work is Coherent Math. Consultants would create a curriculum based on NPS goals and values, and then a team of NPS educators will vet the curriculum and offer feedback about ways it can better fit Newton’s needs or give it the green light for rollout.

The cost of that three-year contract for the elementary and middle schools is likely to be $1.2 million. There’s $2 million set for the entire district-wide math overhaul, and Superintendent Anna Nolin said they would stay within that allocation.

Her office is still negotiating with Coherent Math for the high school curriculum, which will be rolled out after the lower grades get their changeover. Rollout for elementary and middle schools starts in September.
