Instructional Materials Acquisition (adoption or open territory)
Idaho is a textbook adoption state: The "Idaho adoption process provides review and evaluation of new curricular materials, according to our six year adoption cycle. Materials are screened for content, organization, presentation and quality. This process maintains local control in choice of instructional materials by providing approved listings of materials in subject areas. All state approved materials are under contract for the length of the adoption cycle, ensuring availability of quality materials, at the lowest possible price" (
