SELECTION AND PURCHASE OF TEXTBOOKS

      1. The State Board shall make the final selection of all textbooks
to be used in the public schools in this state, except for charter
schools. If a textbook proposed for selection is in a subject area for
which standards of content have been established by the Council to
Establish Academic Standards for Public Schools pursuant to NRS 389.520
, the State Board shall not select the
textbook unless the State Board determines that the textbook adequately
supports the standards for that subject area.

      2. A textbook must not be selected by the State Board pursuant to
subsection 1 for use in the public schools in classes in literature,
history or social sciences unless it accurately portrays the cultural and
racial diversity of our society, including lessons on the contributions
made to our society by men and women from various racial and ethnic
backgrounds.
