School boards play an important role in creating and monitoring the strategic, policy, and financial conditions to support students’ success in the classroom and beyond. One example of a school board’s oversight role is through the materials adoption process. This is the process by which a school district selects the materials and resources in core content areas and grade levels that it will use to implement its curriculum and deliver instruction. Board members are responsible for ensuring that the selected materials align with the district’s strategic priorities, are within budget, and meet the needs of the district’s students. This resource provides an overview and checklist of considerations Board members should take into account.
