Our Curriculum Adoption Process

  • Providing quality and effective instructional materials that are well aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards and Medina City School’s Instructional Philosophy is crucial to our success as an excellent and world-class school district. The process of curriculum revision, and materials selection, for adoption must be well planned and be completed on an ongoing cycle. This revision occurs on a 6-year cycle as shown below and involves teachers, administrators, and parent feedback as part of the adoption process.
