Dear Fort River Elementary School Community:
The interview committee for the Fort River principal search has completed their task and have...
The School Committees affirm their belief that the schools should provide instructional materials that not only include multiple points of view on current and historical issues but also one designed to help students to achieve the instructional goals and objectives of the system and the various instructional disciplines. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
On occasion, however, individuals or groups may wish to have the use of particular instructional materials reviewed or reconsidered, whether they be single items or more basic multi-class materials. The Superintendent will develop any necessary guidelines and procedures to enable this reconsideration as outlined in this policy to occur appropriately.
Whenever a person or group wishes to question the use of particular instructional materials they should first discuss the matter with the teacher involved for information and resolution. If a satisfactory conclusion is not reached, an appeal should be made to the teacher’s immediate supervisor, the department head and building instructional director on the secondary level or the principal on the elementary level. If a satisfactory resolution is not reached at that level, an appeal should be made to either the Elementary or Secondary Education Director. Whenever a satisfactory resolution is not reached at that level, an appeal may be made to the Superintendent to resolve the matter. If a satisfactory conclusion is not reached with the Superintendent, the requesting person or party or the Superintendent,may submit the matter to one of the following review procedures for final determination:
A. For review and reconsideration of basic instructional materials which are purchased in large quantities such as texts used in multiple classrooms:
B. For review and reconsideration of particular instructional materials which are purchased in small quantities, generally in single classroom amounts or less:
Once the use of particular instructional materials has been reviewed and reconsidered through the Review Committee procedure and a final conclusion has been reached on the matter, it shall not be subject to further review based on the same concerns unless additional factual evidence validates the concern. Appeals to review the process used in the reconsideration shall be made to the School Committee.
During the review and reconsideration procedure period, any questioned instructional materials shall continue to be used and available for the instructional program.
