Northville Public Schools — Curriculum

Over the 2025-26 school year, Northville Public Schools' board approvals reshaped the district's curriculum toolkit in three areas: multilingual learning, early literacy, and classroom technology. The first change came in September 2025, when trustees approved a three-year, $18,696.75 purchase of Savvas iLit ELL materials for secondary multilingual learners, noting that ongoing consumable costs are expected to continue each year after the initial term.

In March 2026, the board adopted a significantly larger K-5 literacy investment, approving $652,929 in HMH Tier 1 literacy resources for the 2026-27 school year funded through a state Section 35m grant. The district noted that later extensions of the program are expected to shift from grant funding to the General Fund, a consequential cost consideration for future budgets.

The most recent action, in June 2026, paired curriculum adoption with technology governance. Trustees approved a $106,155 package of tool licenses for 2026-27 - Brisk, Snorkl, Pear Deck, Edpuzzle, and Screencastify - alongside a district framework for ethical, human-centered use of artificial intelligence. Together, the three decisions show a pattern of adopting new instructional resources while planning for ongoing costs and articulating district-level principles for how the tools are used.
