West Virginia Textbook Adoption Shifts Cost to Mercer County Students
Mercer county elementary pupils will buy part of their textbooks under a new state adoption. First to seventh grades purchase varying readers, health, writing pads, and maps while the board furnishes the rest. The change avoids more than 40 000 dollars in statewide costs and keeps some existing volumes in use.
