Alabama Textbook Adoption Process
The state textbook office administers the state
textbook law, which provides for the review and adoption of textbooks at
the state and local level. The law also provides regulations for
individual school systems regarding the local adoption, purchase, use,
and inventory of textbooks. Primary to the state process is working
with the state textbook committee during the review of textbooks and
presenting recommendations to the State Board of Education for adoption
or rejection. The state textbook office also provides assistance to
local school systems in complying with the provisions of the textbook
law. For information about the Alabama State Textbook program such as
state-adopted lists, rejected textbooks, local adoption forms, adoption
schedules, new adoptions, publisher lists, local textbook supervisors,
and other information, contact Karen Benefield at karenb@alsde.edu.
