Board approves second reading of textbook adoptions, keeps digital and print options
Summary
The board gave final approval to a set of textbook adoptions (culinary careers, English honors, culinary arts principles) and discussed digital licensing and pricing as districts transition to digital resources.
The Lincoln Way Community High School District 210 Board of Education approved the second reading and adoption of several textbooks and backup instructional materials for culinary careers, English honors and culinary arts principles and applications.
District staff said the textbook evaluation cycle places the district 3–5 years into rotation and this year's adoption is a lower‑cost cycle compared with larger years when core math or history texts are replaced. Board members asked about digital options; staff said publishers have priced online licenses close to print and many licenses bundle print and digital access, so district costs have not fallen dramatically despite increased digital use.
The motion to adopt the textbooks as presented passed unanimously.
