Adoption of Curricular Materials

For purposes of this policy, "curricular materials" means systematically organized materials
designed to provide a specific level of instruction in a subject matter category, including:

A. books;
B. hardware that will be consumed, accessed, or used by a single student during a
semester or school year;
C. computer software; and
D. digital content.

Curricular materials used as part of the educational program of the Corporation shall be approved
by the School Board, and the Corporation shall make approved curricular materials available to
each enrolled student, without charge, as required by Indiana law.

Library curricular materials and any hardware necessary to utilize and benefit from the curricular
materials shall be provided to students in accordance with state and federal law, including law
concerning individuals with disabilities. The Corporation shall prescribe reasonable rules and
regulations for the care, custody, and return of library curricular materials and hardware.

The curricular materials approved by the Corporation shall include a research-based core reading
program.

Supplementary materials required by a special education student’s Individualized Education
Program or Section 504 plan shall also be provided without charge. The supplemental materials
provided to students receiving special education services shall be in a format that allows the
student to utilize the materials. When necessary for a special education student to benefit from
curricular materials, the materials shall be provided in NIMAS (National Instructional Materials
Accessibility Standard) format and shall be certified by NIMAC (National Instructional
Materials Access Center), or the publisher of the materials may authorize the Corporation to
reproduce the curricular materials in a format such as large type or audio that allows the special
education student to benefit from the materials.

Upon a written determination of the Corporation that a textbook is no longer scheduled for use in
the Corporation, the Corporation may sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise convey the textbook.
