Textbooks/Instructional Materials
Pursuant to Administrative Policy 7.27, each student within a classroom, including students with disabilities, will have equal access to any adopted textbooks/ instructional materials as recommended by the superintendent.
Textbooks/instructional materials furnished for use by a student attending MPS shall be returned to the class teacher or the designated school representative at the end of the course. In case of withdrawal, textbooks/instructional materials shall be returned to the teacher at the time of withdrawal.
