Surprise Surprise - The Scope and Sequence from Seattle's one year old adopted text has been secretly trashed

Last school year the SPS used the Scope and Sequence from newly adopted "Math in Focus" and produced very good results.  Posting the largest differential above State test scores in Math in Seattle history for grades 4 and 5.  Instead of continuing with that "Scope and Sequence" it has been secretly trashed.  I say secretly because the district has not posted the following links to the "New Elementary Math Scope and Sequence" which replaces the "Math in Focus" Scope and Sequence used in grades K - 5 last year.  The District did not notify parents of this change.

Be sure and notice the chaotic jumping about the textbook as the Kindergarten teacher proceeds through the 13 units on the new "Scope and Sequence".    The planned chaos for other grades is similar.  {{ District admin clearly does not like the sequence of topics in Math in Focus }}

It is now mid October  and the SPS is still keeping parents in the dark about huge elementary school math changes.

Great teacher in tears last night on the issue. Told....not asked....to drop MIF and adopt downtown's new worksheet based class flow and materials. Teacher told specifically this is to achieve high SBAC scores.

Using the "Grade Level Year at a Glance" information above, parents can finally see what is going on with elementary school math.

This JSCEE staff math action seems similar to a "coup d'état" .
 Are the Directors complicit in this?
 Are the Directors unaware?
 Do the Directors even care?

Beats me.
