4. The governing board must also certify that the standards-aligned instructional
materials in history–social science, mathematics, reading/language arts, and
science were provided by the beginning of the school term that starts no later than
24 months after those materials were adopted.
For grades K–8 this requirement applies to State Board adoptions in the four core
standards-aligned subject areas that take place after the implementation of this
law. The first adoption that this time frame applied to under IMFRP was the
history–social science adoption in 2005. Other state and federal programs may
have their own deadlines for the purchase of standards-aligned instructional
materials.
For grades 9–12 this 24-month time frame applies to all local governing board
adoptions of standards-aligned instructional materials that take place following
implementation of this law. For example, if a local governing board adopted
materials in October 2003, the district would have needed to provide all pupils in
those classes with the adopted materials by the start of the fall 2005 school term.
5. After the local educational agency has met all of the above requirements, then 100
percent of any remaining annual allocation for IMFRP may be spent for other
purposes as stated in EC Section 60242(a). These other purposes are as follows:
• To purchase “at the district’s discretion, instructional materials, including, but not
limited to, supplementary instructional materials and technology-based
materials, from any source.” These instructional materials must be reviewed and
approved for compliance with the legal and social requirements of EC sections
60040—60045 and 60048 and the SBE guidelines in Standards for Evaluating
Instructional Materials for Social Content (revised 2000). The legal and social
compliance review may be done locally or at the state level.
• To purchase tests.
• To purchase classroom library materials for kindergarten through grade four
(K–4).
• To bind basic textbooks that are otherwise usable and are on the most recent
list of basic instructional materials adopted by the State Board.
• To fund in-service training related to instructional materials.
