The information on this page is a brief summary. For additional guidance, please review Policy 606: Selection/Review of Instructional Resources.

Procedures for Selection/Use/Retention:
The licensed teacher has the right to select resources that they believe increase effectiveness in meeting curriculum objectives. The licensed teacher recognizes the responsibility to use good judgment in the selection/use/retention of resources. The teacher who is in doubt concerning the advisability of using certain resources, which may be controversial in the classroom, consults with the building principal or designee and determine a next course of action. This may include parental notification so that the parents or guardians may have the opportunity to review the material and arrange for alternative instruction.

Instructional Resources Review and Request for Alternative Instruction:
Parents, guardians or adult students, 18 years of age or older, can review the content of instructional resources used in the classroom. Arrangements to review resources can be made with school personnel at any time. School personnel notifies parents regarding the use of instructional resources known to be controversial.
