Senator Parsons Seeks Ten Year Textbook List Lock
Senator Parsons of Grayson introduced a bill in the Senate to require the State Board of Education to adopt a single list of textbooks for public schools and prohibit changes for at least ten years. The proposal amends section 1501 to curb arbitrary shifts in materials and would end the current four year change window. Parsons argues a fixed list ensures continuity through a student’s schooling and favors permanence in the selected system.
