The materials program for grades 6-12 students was selected by the Secondary ELA Textbook Adoption Committee, which is comprised of teachers representing each secondary campus in NBISD.
If approved, the program will be adopted over the course of eight years and will be paid for through budgeted funds from the Instructional Materials Allotment committee.
