When Newark students return to school this fall, they’re likely to see brand-new books.
The district plans to spend $10 million to adopt new English, math, social studies, and science textbooks, according to the budget for next school year that the school board approved in March. The spending is meant to bring consistency to local classrooms and ensure that students are seeing instructional materials that reflect the district’s diversity.
