Sacramento City Unified is in the process of adopting new instructional materials for secondary World Languages starting with the 2024-25 academic year. Teachers, students, parents/guardians and community members have the opportunity to review and provide input about the instructional materials being considered for adoption, and we welcome your feedback.

Instructional materials are selected and evaluated with great care so that they will effectively support the adopted courses of study and meet current curricular goals. The process for community review and feedback is open from January through February 2024. The recommended materials and evidence from evaluation will be presented to the Board of Education for a public hearing and final approval in March, 2024.

Digital Materials are available for you to review at the links below, or you can visit the Serna Center to review printed copies (5735 47th Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95824 – Second Floor Lobby). The Serna Center is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
