Errors in Texas-developed learning materials will cost millions

Thousands of corrections — from typos to copyright concerns — are needed in state-produced reading and math materials used by hundreds of public schools.

The $8.4 million tab, first reported by FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth, comes at a time when state leaders criticize school districts for a funding crisis they view as caused, in part, by poor planning and reckless spending.

Bluebonnet, an elementary and secondary school reading and math program that state leaders often tout as high-quality, comes with a $60 per-student incentive for districts that use it. As of last year, nearly 600 districts planned to use some of the materials.

The K-5 reading portion faces criticism for its use of Bible stories, while others express concerns about the lessons downplaying racism and slavery.
