Northshore school board was scheduled to vote on a new K-5 English curriculum

What the records say

In materials for the May 26, 2026 Northshore School District board meeting, the agenda included an action item requesting board approval of HMH Version 3 + Structured Literacy for K-5 English Language Arts, or ELA ¹. Items listed under Action Items are matters the board was scheduled to vote on at the meeting ¹. The agenda entry notes an attached document, but that attachment was not part of the supplied record ¹.

• The board packet listed a request for approval of HMH Version 3 + Structured Literacy for K-5 English Language Arts as an action item.
• The agenda item was noted to contain an attachment, but that attachment was not part of the supplied packet.
• The available records do not establish whether the board voted to approve the curriculum.

Why it matters

If approved, the curriculum would set the reading and language arts materials used across the district's elementary grades — the learning materials Kenmore students would use in class ¹. Analysis: Because Kenmore is part of the Northshore School District, families with children in grades K through 5 could see a change in textbooks, workbooks, and reading instruction. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome, so whether the curriculum was adopted remains unconfirmed here ¹.

What changed / what's next

• The proposed change would adopt HMH Version 3 + Structured Literacy as the K-5 English Language Arts curriculum, pending board approval ¹.
• The supplied record does not include the attachment to the item, so implementation dates, costs, and material details are not documented here ¹.
• The meeting's outcome is not established by the available records, so whether the curriculum was approved remains unconfirmed ¹.
