Lynchburg City Schools is going through a science textbook adoption at the middle and high school levels that will support the 2018 Science Standards of Learning. In addition to science teachers, parents and community members can also review the titles and help us make the final decision. 

These materials are in the schools ready for your review. If you wish to review these titles, please contact a middle or high school to arrange for a time to do so. The deadline for review is February 11, 2022.
