Court Order Forces Textbook Contracts Change
The state board of education moved to replace contracts for four elementary textbooks after the Manawha county circuit court invalidated February agreements. Bids for language history reading and ethics were slated for June 31, with odds of adopting new books in three subjects and readopting the current books in the fourth subject. The supreme court's May 24 ruling prompted the board to reconsider, while Judge Hudon issued a permanent injunction restraining the board from proceeding with the contracts. The appellate court ruled changes in 47 percent of civics and related subjects might be unlawful and warned the board against unfair pricing. The board met and discussed the situation, awaiting final decree and further guidance from the court.
