Fairfield ISD school board trustees approved the annual TEKS certification report to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), establishing the Bluebonnet curriculum for Fairfield Elementary School and Fairfi eld Intermediate School at their Monday, April 14, meeting.
The district will be using IXL for an online resource. Star Renaissance will be removed as a resource from the district.
Bluebonnet includes the open education resources created by TEA. Assistant Superintendent Kelli Moore met with teachers and administrators about the new curriculum before bringing it to the board. The Bluebonnet curriculum is very rigorous. Superintendent Joe Craig noted that everyone may struggle with the curriculum at the beginning. Craig discussed controversial topics involved in the ELAR portion of Bluebonnet and how the district’s plan was to identify these lessons, review them with a committee of staff and administrators, then either substitute or eliminate these types of lessons.
