Advanced Placement Instructional Materials Public Review

AP Instructional Materials Public Review Form

North Santiam School District invites parents, staff, and community members to review and provide feedback on candidate instructional materials under consideration for Advanced Placement (AP) courses: AP PreCalculus, AP Calculus, and AP U.S. History. These selected materials will be officially implemented in our classrooms starting in the Fall of 2026. The public feedback window closes on June 1, 2026.

In strict compliance with the requirements of NSSD Board Policy IIA regarding the selection and adoption of instructional materials, these resources are open for a public community review period. The form description is fully bilingual and contains links to the NSSD Board Policies, OAR guidelines, and digital textbook previews.

Your input ensures our advanced academic pathways remain rigorous, accessible, and aligned with community standards. Please review the material samples and complete the evaluation matrix. Thank you for your partnership and leadership.
