In Florida, instructional materials are adopted for specific courses within selected subject areas and grade levels, usually for a period of five years per subject. The Florida Department of Education publishes specifications. These specifications outline the courses and what the standards materials must meet. St. Lucie County Public Schools follows the textbook adoption process from the Florida Department of Education per Florida Statute 1006.34.
St. Lucie Public Schools is adopting English Language Arts K-12 instructional materials that are aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. ELA Standards. Publishers are also contacted by email.
The Instructional Materials Adoption for English Language Arts adheres to FL Statutes for Instructional Materials, Sunshine Laws, and SLPS 2520. School Board Meeting Agendas will be posted after the Adoption Review Committees have selected the awarded programs.
