Florida Instructional Materials Adoption Schedule  

Instructional Materials The state of Florida has specific policies and procedures for the adoption of instructional materials to be used in the classrooms by teachers for students. Each year the state reviews and revises (as needed) the standards, policies, and materials that are approved to be used for educational purposes. Governor Ron DeSantis has instituted new ELA and Math standards, along with several revisions to existing Social Studies standards. These changes are considered when the state begins their adoption process for new materials. Visit the FLDOE website for Instructional Materials at https://www.fldoe.org/academics/standards/instructional-materials/ In school year 2021-22, our teachers reviewed Math materials accepted by FLDOE for bid, considered how those materials aligned with the new BEST standards and worked in conjunction with PAEC using the EdCredible platform to reach a decision on two options for adoption. Once state reviewers had finished their work, FLDOE published their official Adoption List. Going from that list, Franklin County School Board voted to adopt and purchase the McGraw-Hill Reveal Math series, as requested by our teachers. The 2022-23 school year was the adoption year. Social Studies. Due to the release of new standards, Franklin will adopt and purchase new materials to align with the new standards. Our review team members will work with their grade level peers to review materials from publishers. This process should be complete by the end of January. The state’s official adoption list should be made available sometime in March. Once we ensure that our choices are on the adoption list, we will ask the school board for approval and purchase. During the next few months, members of the community are encouraged to visit the FLDOE website for the links to publisher materials that are up for adoption.
