Background of the Adoption Process West Virginia is one of 22 “Adoption States” • WV Educators write the criteria. • The Department Issues a “Call to Bid.” • Interested vendors submit bids, sign a contract & post a bond. • WV educators review materials. • Approved materials are placed on Official State Multiple List.

  11. Adoption Cycle West Virginia Code §18-2A-1 The establishment of groupings and periods of adoption complies with W. Va. Code §18-2A-1, Adoption of Instructional Resources. The West Virginia Instructional Materials Review/Advisory Committee, acting as a total body, is expected to select “textbooks” (instructional materials) for each group for recommendation to be approved and published in the yearly Official State Multiple List of Instructional Materials.
