K-12 Social Studies Instructional Materials Review & Objection Process is Now Open

 

K-12 Social Studies Instructional Materials Review Work Group has met, reviewed materials, received publisher presentations and identified a ranked list of instructional materials of the highest quality and best aligned with state standards.  These materials were reviewed and voted on by the School Board at the February 13, 2024, Special School Board Meeting/Hearing. 

 

Parents or community members who may have objections based on errors or a belief there is bias within these materials should submit objections by clicking here to use the K-12 Social Studies Instructional Materials Review Objection Form. Objection forms must include the name of the textbook with page numbers.  Only those objections containing references to specific page numbers with respect to contested material/content in the given textbook being objected to will be accepted.  

 

All objections are due by 4:00 p.m., Friday, March 15, 2024.  In accordance with School Board Policy 2520, the Board shall conduct a public hearing only on such timely received petitions and provide the petitioner(s) written notification of the date and time of the hearing at least ten (10) calendar days before the hearing.
