During the recent Delaware Valley School District work session, the board discussed the adoption of new textbooks for the upcoming academic year, a decision that directly impacts local students and educators. Initially, six books were proposed for review, but two teachers opted out of the process, citing dissatisfaction with the available options.

The focus now shifts to three specific textbooks: "Concepts American Government," "American Government," and the "AP US History" textbook. These materials are crucial for enhancing the curriculum in social studies, providing students with essential knowledge about government and history.

To ensure community involvement, the board plans to make these textbooks available for public review. They will be displayed at the local library in Milford for two weeks, followed by another two weeks at the Dingmans campus. This initiative allows residents to engage with the educational resources that will shape their children's learning experience.

The board's commitment to transparency and community input reflects a broader goal of fostering an informed and engaged public, ensuring that educational materials meet the needs and expectations of the community. As the review period approaches, parents and residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new textbooks.
