expertise in the subject areas being considered.
The West Virginia Instructional Materials Review Committee, in cooperation with the
West Virginia Instructional Materials Advisory Committee, performs an extensive
evaluation of instructional materials and programs submitted for review and conducts
official hearings with publishers. The Official State Multiple List of Instructional Materials
K-12 provides information for schools to use in the selection of instructional materials.

The West Virginia Department of Education acknowledges the contributions of the

publishers and their respective representatives is deeply appreciated.
