Text books to be Changed Less Frequently
Representatives Brown and Joyce argued before the house education committee in favor of a bill to curb frequent textbook changes in public schools. The measure would require the state board of education to avoid changes more often than every fifteen years, except on petitions from at least fifty county superintendents, with histories and geographies revised every ten years.
