For the above courses, instructional materials will be issued in accordance with the course enrollment projections provided by principals on site order forms. Typically, each site will receive, at no charge, an additional allocation of materials based upon the number of students enrolled in each course. Allocations to atypical sites may vary depending on class size. If the adoption consists of teaching materials only, no extra allocation will be issued. Schools that implement new courses and/or have an increase in enrollment in subsequent years must purchase textbooks from their site budget accounts.

B. Reconciliation forms will be distributed to sites during October 2002 and March 2003.
The Instructional Materials Reconciliation Form includes (a) the course enrollment
based on data forms submitted by sites in October and March, (b) the number of
materials issued, and (c) the number of excess materials at the site. No credit will be
given for rebound, stamped, or otherwise altered materials. Please note that videos,
software, calculators, and other technology-based instructional materials may not be
returned to the vendor. Please use caution when ordering these materials.

Principals will be asked to designate, on the Instructional Materials Reconciliation Form, the site budget(s) to be charged for the excess materials and/or to indicate the number of unused, unstamped textbooks to be returned.

C. Listed below is information on selected adoptions:

Physics 1,2 and Honors Physics 1,2

This is the second year of a two-year adoption for Physics 1,2, and Honors Physics 1,2. Sites that have not fully implemented these courses may order additional student or teacher materials due to increased enrollments or if new or additional sections are anticipated. Equipment bundles are issued per classroom.
