West Virginia schools won’t adopt new social studies textbooks this year. Instead, state Department of Education officials say the $36 million allocated for the adoption will be put to much better use. Carla Williamson, director of the state education department’s Office of Instruction, advised state board of education members earlier this month to skip this year’s scheduled social studies textbook adoption and reroute the $18 million it set aside for social studies books in 2010 and 2011. Williamson said the department should spend that money on technology in schools.
