Dear Secretary Horne:
Enclosed, please find the Report of the 2002-2003 State Instructional Materials
Committees as required by Section 1006.31(5), Florida Statutes. Submissions by
publishers were evaluated in the following curriculum areas:
Agriscience and Natural Resources, 6-12
Safety and Driver Education, 9-12
Music, K-12
Integrated Sciences, 9-12
Literature, 6-12
The appointed committees were diligent and faithful in discharging their assigned
duties as prescribed in Section 1006.31, Florida Statutes. Each committee conducted a
careful and thorough study of the information provided on each submission, and each
submission was evaluated to determine those that would best implement the curriculum
objectives of Florida’s schools.
This year, you were presented with the curriculum area recommendations
separately, shortly after each committee met. Each recommendation was approved as
presented. This report is a compilation of the approved materials.
Sincerely,
