HB2015: schools; supplemental materials; approval
Sponsor: Representative Fillmore, LD 16
Committee on Education
Overview
Requires a governing board to approve all supplemental books and teaching aids before use in any common school or high school course that includes a basic textbook and supplemental books.
History
The governing boards of common schools and high schools are required to approve the course of study, basic textbook and all credit units under each subject before a course is implemented. For common school courses that do not include a basic textbook, supplemental books must be approved by the governing board before the course itself is approved. For high school courses that do not include a basic textbook, supplemental books must be approved by the governing board before they are used in a course (A.R.S. § 15-721).
If a common school or high school course includes a basic textbook or supplemental books (including instructional computer software), the governing board is permitted to approve all supplemental books and instructional computer software before approving the course. Finally, if a common school or high school course includes a basic textbook and uses supplemental books that have yet to be approved, a teacher may use the supplemental books at any time during the school year; however, supplemental books that are used must be brought to the attention of the governing board during the school year. (A.R.S. § 15-722)
Provisions
2. Specifies that a teacher may not use supplemental books in a common school or high school course that includes a basic textbook and uses supplemental books until approved by the governing board. (Sec. 1, 2)
3. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1, 2)
