This is a gentle reminder that you may still give your feedback.
The State Board of Education has the responsibility and duty to adopt the instructional materials used for instruction in the public schools of South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Education facilitates the review and adoption process. Last summer, publishers submitted materials in identified subject areas to Instructional Review Panels, who reviewed and vetted the materials based on predetermined criteria. A state-wide public review was conducted in the fall. Then, the choices were narrowed down for school districts. An Instructional Materials Caravan was organized, and district representatives were invited to listen to presentations from each of the publishers on the final list. Currently, those presentations are being shared with teachers and administrators who will vote on the Math Instructional materials we want to use in Laurens County School District 55. Parents, guardians, and community members may offer feedback on the instructional materials currently on display at the district office.
