Florida will spend millions over the next four years to work with a third party to create, maintain and monitor a system that makes it easier to review K-12 classroom materials.
The Florida Department of Education has entered into a $15 million dollar contract with Maryland-based Trinity Education Group to build the database, which will be used to make sure that books and other resources comply with state laws.
It will allow K-12 teachers to upload materials to the site. Parents, residents and state officials can then search and review for compliance with state laws like HB 1069, which restricts sexually and age-inappropriate content.
