The Alsea School Board (ASB) announces that they have approved the new K-12 ELA curriculum Savvas for purchase. The purchase will be made from existing grant school funding. This curriculum option was unanimously endorsed by all Alsea elementary and secondary ELA teachers. Costs for integration of the new curriculum will be mitigated by using resources from LBLESD and an in-house mentor to assist teachers. The ASB has also set a priority to create transparency in curriculum for students through syllabi.
