The state textbook adoption process provides for the continuous review and purchase of new instructional
materials. Adoption states choose at the state level what textbooks can be used by all school districts. This
process was established to provide quality materials to school at a guarenteed price and to provide equal
access to those materials for all student in adoption states. Each adoption state has their own set of rules
and procedures that govern the process, but the end result is the same: Quality textbooks that meet their
state curriculum.
