During the textbook adoption process, the Mathematics Office convenes teachers, administrators, School Board appointees, and parents to evaluate textbooks. Feedback is solicited from all county schools and from the public.

Citizens’ comments will be collected and considered by the textbook adoption committee as it prepares recommendations to the School Board this winter. The final adoption report is planned for presentation to the School Board for information and approval in February 2012.
