Uniform Text Books Adopted by Georgia House
The Georgia House passed a uniform text book bill by 107 to 44, moving toward statewide adoption next January. The act creates a state book commission, sets the list of core subjects, and requires bids from publishers for five-year contracts with safeguards on quality and exchange of old books. The measure aims to reduce costs and standardize schooling while allowing local systems to access the adopted books at the same terms.
