In November 2002, Anne Arundel County Schools implemented a Single Textbook Adoption Program with a six-year cycle, subject to funding availability, for implementation beginning with the school year 2003-2004.

The Single Textbook Adoption program ensures equity in resources to all students and schools and consistency in training to staff.  Through the negotiated contracts and large quantity purchasing, the Single Textbook Adoption program generated savings in excess of $4,000,000 during the FY2009 adoption year.
