Community Review of Mathematics Basal Resources

Learn more about the Math Basal Resources being reviewed for adoption for the 2025-26 and 2026–27 school years.

Fairfax County Public Schools is adopting Math Basal Resources for the 2025-26 and 2026–27 school year. Basal resources are the primary resources used to support instruction in a given subject.

Public review of the instructional materials under consideration is part of the process for selecting new resources.

All community feedback will be shared with School Board members before a vote at the School Board’s regular meeting in Spring 2025.

Note: Only comments regarding the evaluation of the instructional materials (not any additional resources or materials) will be considered from the survey and comment sheet.

FCPS adopts basal resources in accordance with the process outlined in Regulation 3004.
