Chairpeople Should Call the Shots on Textbooks for ALL the Schools, Equally

Only teachers in certain schools decided they didn't need books. If 3 out of 4 schools (the teachers) decide an ELA test prep book is useful, why wouldn't the other school use it also? especially when that school has notorious low scores in ELA. Our district has a curriculum superintendent, an English chairperson, a science chairperson,etc - why aren't things the same across the board, across the grade, across our district? What is the point of these people if things are so different and decisions are made in every school? It would be ok if the results were the same but you can't compare Old Beth and Parkway scores to Stratford and Pasadena. And you can't compare backpacks either. Why should my tax dollars only give some kids (not mine) workbooks? What are they using instead? Maybe no one needs those workbooks then and we can all save a lot of money by not buying them at all.
