The Provo City School District is seeking community input as it considers materials for elementary Social Studies instruction, according to a September 28 report.

Community members are encouraged to review the USBE K–6 Social Studies instructional resources and complete the Elementary Resource Review: Feedback Survey by Friday, October 9, 2026.

The district is considering pausing the adoption of a new program until state plans become clearer. This consideration comes as the Utah State Board of Education plans to revise elementary Social Studies standards, though draft standards and a timeline for those revisions are not yet available.

Community feedback will assist the district in determining if USBE resources could serve as core materials aligned with current standards in the interim.

The available collection contains resources for each grade level instead of a single, comprehensive curriculum program. The district noted that individuals do not need to review every item and may explore materials for one or more grades before completing the survey.
