Textbooks
Each year, instructional materials for a different content area are reviewed and considered for adoption. Publishers are required to submit bids which identify every student title, teacher edition, ancillary and free item that will be made available. An exact price must be offered, which will remain in effect for the length of the adoption contract (7 years). Publishers are also required to provide samples of new materials for review by the Department of Education and each member of the State Textbook Adoption Committee. The recommendations of the State Textbook Adoption Committee are forwarded to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) for final approval and placement on the state list of approved textbooks/instructional materials.
Bulletin 1794—State Textbook Adoption Policy and Procedure Manual (September 2009) outlines the policies and procedures for state textbook adoptions.
