Instructional Materials

All Instructional Materials will be selected using the district process in accordance with Texas State law, Texas Education Agency guidelines, and Jarrell ISD Board Policy. Teachers will be instrumental in the process of review and selection for grade levels/course Instructional Materials in their area(s) of expertise. Parents, students, and community members will be provided multiple opportunities to provide feedback during the selection process. The Board of Trustees shall approve final selections for new instructional materials selected and ratify the district’s certification of instructional materials EF (Local).

IMRA Cycle 2024 includes full-subject, tier-one instructional materials intended for classroom-wide instruction to support all students in K–5 English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR), K–5 Spanish Language Arts and Reading (SLAR), and K–12 mathematics. Partial-subject, tier-one instructional materials for K–3 English and Spanish phonics are also up for review. 

Instructional materials submitted in the IMRA process were accessible to the public beginning in May 2024. The online public comment period began in May and ended in August 2024. Additionally, public testimony was heard at the September SBOE meeting.  

The SBOE is scheduled to vote in November 2024 to determine which materials will be added to a list of approved instructional materials or list of rejected instructional materials.
