COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County Consolidated Schools’ Board of School Trustees heard reports about textbook adoption at Monday’s work session.

For the elementary level, reading/language arts were the subject of the new book.

The book chosen was Journeys, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Advantages for this textbook include its excellence in a 90-minute reading block and the high portion of non-fiction reading.

The committee was chaired by Laura McDermott, principal at Coesse Elementary School.

The student rental price for this book will be $33.51.

The middle school adopted a new set of curriculum textbooks for family and consumer sciences.
