Gwinnett considering new textbooks

Oct 15, 2014

Gwinnett County school officials are seeking the public’s thoughts about some new language arts textbooks and other materials the district might use to teach its students.

The books were put on display earlier this week and will be available for review until Oct. 31. Most of the materials are workbooks aimed at improving student vocabulary and writing. The books are through all grade levels.

After the review is complete, Gwinnett administrators will recommend to school board members which, if any of the items they’d like to use.

The materials are on display at the district’s headquarters, 437 Old Peachtree Road NW, in Suwanee.
