Update on Textbook Adoption (September 2010)

According to KRS 156.400 (3), the chief state school officer may delay the purchase of textbooks due to insufficient funds. Due to the inadequate amount allocated for textbooks in the current state budget, the textbook cycle will be delayed until sufficient funds are in place to continue the process.
