Public May View Potential New Textbooks and
Submit Feedback
MARION COUNTY – With Marion County Public Schools adopting new textbooks for mathematics courses at all grade levels, public input can be offered during an open review night scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 12.
That is when members of the public can physically review potential textbooks and materials being considered by the district adoption review committees for next school year.
The 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. session takes place in Building 2 of the Robert “Mack” Dunwoody Educational Complex located on the MTI campus at 1614 E. Fort King St. in Ocala.
The process already involves parents, teachers, and community members reviewing instructional materials. Course-specific committees can involve up to 15 voting members and one non-voting chair including the content area program specialist, up to eight teachers, two parents, and five community members appointed by the Marion County School Board.
Following this public viewing, review committee members will consider public input at their meeting set for Jan. 20 at West Port High School from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. West Port High is located at 3733 SW 80 Ave. in Ocala.
Committee members will also vote to recommend titles to the superintendent, who then advances recommendations to the Marion County School Board.
