 Textbook adoptions work on a six year cycle  Last year we adopted math (K-6 & HS), this year we will adopt science (1-12) and math (7/8) and next year we will adopt our misc. area materials.  The adoption cycle is set by the Department of Education.  The DOE also provides a list of approved vendors and negotiated prices.

 FCTA appoints the teacher representatives to the textbook adoption committee.  Principals submit names of parents who are interested in viewing and commenting on materials.  Alignment of curriculum prior to the review of materials.  The district facilitates the review of materials received from approved vendors.  A recommendation is made to the School Board in April. Once the School Board approves materials, the ordering process begins.  Supplemental fees and consumable fee changes are brought to the board in May.  Textbook rates and fee rates are published for parents through school newsletters and district website.
