There are many opportunities for the public to participate in the mathematics adoption process. Submitted materials will be on display for legal compliance/social content review at local Learning Resources Display Centers (LRDC). A list of LRDCs can be viewed on the CDE website. Also, there are 3 public hearings, one before the mathematics Subject Matter Committee, a subcommittee of the Curriculum Commission, one before the full Curriculum Commission and one before the State Board of Education.

The public display for legal compliance is scheduled to occur during late April and May with the legal compliance review hearing scheduled for June 20 - 22.

Every six years, the core content area (English-Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, History-Social Science) undergo a Curriculum Framework review and Instructional Materials adoption process. Currently 21 states have an instructional materials adoption process. California is the only state that has a K-8 adoption, the others are K-12. The process varies by state as to the level (district, regional, or state-wide) of the adoption. Read More...
