D2C1A4

The Reading Basal is up for adoption this year. I have put together a team to examine the five offerings on the state list. They have been given a rubric by which they will measure the series. I had the publishers come and present their programs to the district teachers, and they were allowed to visit campuses with the campus administrators' permission. They will meet one more time with the Adoption Committee to have one last word and to show the free with order materials. The committee will then meet again to share our findings and then to develop "talking points" to take back to their teachers. In March, we will take a vote. Each classroom teacher will have a vote, one man, one vote. The series that receives majority of votes will be the one selected. Our timeline is to have the voting completed before we go out for Spring Break.

  1. That's a short timeline. Hope it works for you. Good buy in. Still will upset a few. Always does.

  2. There will be a lot of blame next year, no matter what. We have been looking at the books since September.
