Virginia school officials voted to overhaul its textbook review and selection process as they withdrew approval for two textbooks containing major errors. The Virginia Department of Education also approved guidelines to prevent sexual misconduct between school staff and students, allowing for significant interpretation at the local level.

The revised process for textbook review, submitted last month by State Superintendent Patricia Wright, requires publishers to provide a list of authors and their credentials with each textbook. Additionally, at least three experts in the subject must vouch that the textbook is accurate.
