Rationale:
Elementary teachers have concluded their pilot testing of two English Language Arts/English Language
Development textbooks. The teachers began their process by grading out textbooks in June to arrive at
two books selected to pilot test with their students. There were 16 teachers that piloted the McGrawHill
Wonders and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: Journeys. All elementary teachers were invited to provide
feedback on the instructional materials selection. The elementary instructional materials were available
for parent preview and feedback during August Back to School Nights and Parent University English
Language Arts Community Engagement Meetings in September and October. After reviewing all input
and available research, School Leadership and Support recommends the Board adopt California
Wonders published by McGrawHill
for elementary grade levels.
The total purchase of the textbook adoption is $1,533,155.69. There will be three payments that will be
made over an eight month period. The first invoice in December will be 25% of the purchase price, with
the second invoice in March being an additional 25%. The last invoice billed in August will be 50% of the

following actions:
Oct. 12: Narrowed the initial list from 167 to 50 by voting to eliminate all names apparently submitted
as a joke or in humor? and all names of people – with one exception requested by a committee member.
Also eliminated, onebyone,

committee members expressed that they did not support having “Natomas” or “West” in the school’s
name. Each member was asked to come to the next meeting with five favorites from the 50 remaining
names.
Oct. 18: Each committee member present identified their favorites from the 50 contenders.
Discussion and vote narrowed the field to four finalists. Director of Communications Jim Sanders was
asked to research the four names for historic ties to Natomas, etc.

and Garden Oaks.

identifies the project to which the fees are to be applied and identifies all sources and amounts of funding
anticipated to complete financing on incomplete improvements. The District historically has combined
