Each year, the state of SC establishes priorities for purchasing instructional materials and resources for our students. Currently, the state is funding new AP Computer Science materials. Before the process reaches our schools, the SC State Board of Education seeks stakeholder input from across the state and approves a broad list of textbooks for schools to review. Following state approval, textbook publishers formally presented their materials to school districts and distributed samples of their resources for our review.
The AP Computer Science Textbooks selection process has been completed at the state level and it is now time to complete the approval process at the district level. SDPC invites the public to review textbooks and instructional materials that have been proposed for use in Pickens County schools for AP Computer Science.
Community stakeholders may review and give feedback on the resources through March 16, 2026 utilizing the online resources listed below and by providing comments using the form linked below. There are no hard copy versions of the adopted materials available for review.
Our goal is to be able to send the SDPC Board of Trustees the final recommendation the week of March 23, 2026. This timeline is crucial in order to receive instructional materials prior to the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year.
We invite students, parents, educators, and community members to review the proposed materials and provide feedback.
