Those interested in improving the language arts program in Georgia elementary schools have an immediate opportunity.

Starting today, Grayson High School will host a review of language arts text books and curriculum resource materials being considered for use in grades k-5 across the state.

Grayson High, at 50 Hope Hollow Road, Loganville, was chosen by the Georgia Department of Education as the site for the Congressional District 7 review. The textbook review is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. through July 18, excluding the July 4 holiday. Parents can share their opinions about the textbooks and materials submitted for consideration by publishers.

Information collected at the review will be shared with the state learning advisory committee, which makes recommendations to the state Board of Education about textbook selections. For more information about the instructional review process, contact the Georgia Department of Education's Office of Policy and External Affairs by calling 404-463-1487.
