Online Curriculum • APEX is our current online curriculum provider for students that may qualify due to unique circumstances such as: • Independent Study • Home Hospital for some students • DDSLC • Credit Recovery • Digital curriculum in an online environment taught by NON-TCUSD teachers to support the needs of identified students

Online Curriculum Vendor Fair • Provide a transparent process for vendor selection • Explore options to use TCUSD teachers and control content • Explore independent and blended learning environments • Provide access to courses in a flexible format • Compliance with PE and independent study requirements

Technology • Instructional materials are no longer just based on a textbook • Additional content and resources included in online components • Some publishers provide a hybrid selection of both print and digital, while others have gone completely digital • As we move forward with adoptions, technology costs must be factored in
