Lamar Independent Consolidated School District is getting ready to select textbooks for next year and would like community feedback.
For the 2010-2011 school year new textbooks, will be implemented in K-1 for English Language Arts and Reading, and Spanish Language Arts and Reading; in grades 2-5 for Reading, and Spanish Reading; in grades 6-12 for Literature; in grades 6-8 for Reading Electives; and in grades 9-12 for AP Language, AP Literature, English for Speakers of Other Languages I & II, and English Language Proficiency Standards.
From now until December 18, all textbooks will be on display at each applicable campus based on grade level. Community residents are encouraged to review the textbooks and give their feedback by writing to Bonnie Walker, Executive Director of Curriculum, 3911 Avenue I, Rosenberg, TX 77471.
The textbook choices for next year were first approved by the Texas State Board of Education, then selected by the Lamar CISD Textbook Adoption Committee, a group of 51 professional employees many of whom are teachers. Once the public has had a chance to view the textbooks and the committee has been able to discuss the choices, the final recommendations will be presented at the March 27, 2010 Board of Trustees meeting.
If you would like to view the textbooks and give your feedback please visit the school nearest you with the applicable grade level. Education is critical and your input is important in picking out teaching material for the next generation of Lamar CISD students.
