Hi Laura,
I'm not sure if you teach acting or tech, or both, but I've recently created a step-by-step guide to hanging and focusing a rep plot, which can be used as a text book. Also valuable for your board to understand is theatre safety. You can see links to these books on the PRESETT website - address in my signature line. Please let me know if there's any more info I can send you to further your cause!

Subject: Textbook Suggestions
I am on the hunt for a good textbook geared towards high school students. We do not have textbooks for theatre students (ah, public schools) in my district, so I've relied on old college textbooks, Drama Teacher Academy, and friends as a catalyst to create my own curriculum. It's working okay but I would really love to have a solid textbook to present to our school board and convince them of the importance of students having a tangible source of information at their disposal.
