Textbook Adoption Process

In accordance with Board Policy 6161.1 and Administrative Regulation 6161.1, several committees convened, piloted material, and brought recommendations to the Superintendent for adoption, starting the 2021-2022 school year. Board policy requires a time of public preview, prior to Board adoption. Physical textbooks and their ancillary items are available for review at the district office Reno facility, 1017 Reno Ave., Building B, Room1, April 5-16, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday – 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday – 8 a.m.-7 p.m. In an effort to respect current health and safety guidelines, the materials are also available to review below (for those materials available).
