Boerne ISD Board Report
May 15th, 2023
The Board voted to accept the textbook and instructional materials recommendations by the adoption committee.
Final recommendations regarding materials were made by the committees, which met several times for material reviews, collaborative discussions, and reviews of bundled pricing packages. All campuses had representation on each committee, and materials being recommended are aligned with state standards and our district’s programs.

The Board approved the Instructional Materials Allotment and TEKS Certification for the 2024-2025 school year.
