This fall, parents, students, and community members have an opportunity to help FCPS select important learning resources. You can advocate for resources that are accessible for all students, including those with disabilities; represent our diverse community, and support every student’s ability to thrive.

FCPS is conducting basal resource reviews for subjects across grade levels and subject areas. Basal resources are the books and materials the division purchases to create a common foundation for instruction across all schools while allowing teachers to make necessary adjustments to support every student’s unique learning needs. Basal resources support culturally responsive teaching and are a significant first step in the division’s commitment to Equitable Access to Literacy.
Because these reviews do not happen frequently, selected resources will be in classrooms for years and are a significant financial investment.

Stakeholder feedback collected during the review process is shared with the Basal Resource Adoption Committee and the School Board. Your voice is a direct and important part of the process.
