Wharton ISD is joining several area school districts in adopting Bluebonnet Learning for K-5 students starting in the ’25-26 school year. Approved by the state last fall, the curriculum brings $60 per student in funding. While some criticize its Christian content, Wharton officials say they’ll adjust the material to meet local needs. Nearby districts like El Campo and Louise are also customizing lessons. The school board approved the move unanimously last week, aiming to boost funding without compromising community standards.
