Big Walnut Local Schools
July update: Big Walnut Board voted NOT to purchase the Reveal Math curriculum due to the content unrelated to classical math. You were given information that was corrected when the contract was recommended for approval and the board voted not to contract with McGraw Hill’s Reveal Math after discovering the content was embedded with SEL.
Tip received 6/30/24:
McGraw Hill's Reveal SEL curriculum is in Big Walnut School District. There are a ton of Math programs putting SEL into the curriculum. A bunch of us fought to get Big Walnut's School Board to not implement it. Reveal was the choice made by our woke curriculum director. See attached examples.
