The School Board of Stafford County (School Board) may adopt textbooks, including print and electronic media, for student use that serve as the primary curriculum basis for a grade-level subject or course from the list of textbooks approved by the Virginia Board of Education. The School Board may adopt textbook/curriculum resources which are not on the state-approved list, provided the selection is in accordance with VBOE regulations.
In approving textbooks, the School Board:
- appoints evaluation committees to review and evaluate textbooks;
- gives notice to parents that textbooks under consideration will be listed on the division’s website and made available at designated locations for review by any interested citizens;
- creates opportunities for persons reviewing such textbooks to present their comments and observations to the School Board;
- creates procedures to ensure appropriate consideration of citizen comments and observations; and
- establishes and makes known selection criteria.
The School Board shall use a comprehensive lens when selecting and adopting textbooks and curriculum resources which support the instructional goals of the school division and consider issues of religion, race, gender, cultural diversity, and multiple perspectives and views.
