The books were ordered in July from the state's textbook warehouse in Raleigh. Last year, the state was prompt in filling its orders, Mrs. Walker said, but schools have experienced some delays this year. At Boiling Springs, the new math books from Harcourt Brace publishing are intended to replace the Saxon Math program, which the school used last year. Instead, Mrs. Walker said, teachers will continue to use the Saxon Math materials until the new books arrive. Boiling Springs Principal Donna Senter said parents shouldn't worry that their children aren't getting the math instruction they need.
Teachers pull materials from many different areas.
They shouldn't just depend upon a textbook. Mrs. Walker said the new books are expected to arrive any day. All Rights Reserved.
