We have been following closely the math adoption for Scottsdale Unified. They have narrowed the group down to 5 choices and word is that Everyday Math is currently in last place.
The choices are:
Saxon Math
Math Expressions
enVision Math
Everyday Mathematics (3rd edition)
Math Connects
Stay tuned for more details, a decision is expected mid-March.

As one district parent wrote...
"What were all those grand presentations about at the beginning of the school year?"
Did they ever even host their initial community introduction event?

Letter to the Editor: Dear Cave Creek Unified School Board and Superintendent Burdick
Letter to the Editor in the Sonoran News...
Dear School Board members and Superintendent Burdick
Ouch!
We don't agree with all the points in the letter, but the larger issue of this decision being made quickly and without significant community input just goes to show that no matter the administration or the makeup of the governing board, nothing has changed.
Update: The good Dr. has quite the C.V.
Dear School Board members and Superintendent Burdick
Ouch!
Never in my 23 years of teaching have I witnessed such prejudicial and/or incompetent decision making. I am honestly shocked by what transpired in the Tuesday, Jan. 26 district meeting and disgusted by the loudly trumpeted plans to establish an elite academy using public dollars, which will be deflected from current educational operations.
I will be forwarding my letter to Arizona State Superintendent Tom Horne and the federal government’s Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. I will also be forwarding a letter to the Arizona Republic and Sonoran News.
We don't agree with all the points in the letter, but the larger issue of this decision being made quickly and without significant community input just goes to show that no matter the administration or the makeup of the governing board, nothing has changed.
