March 18, 2020 Dear NOBLE community, As the COVID-19 picture changes daily, we are also working daily to keep you informed as soon as practical. These changes are undoubtedly causing substantial interruptions to many aspects of our daily lives. This can be especially stressful for our students and community members who are facing disruptions to their normal routines. MSAD 60 will do whatever we can within our means to minimize these issues. The following text is excerpted from Education Commissioner Makin’s recent superintendent communication. As you know, Governor Mills provided a recommendation that Maine schools cease classroom-based instruction as soon as practicable and for the duration of our state of civil emergency (which is for 30 days, but could be re-established for as many times as the situation warrants). Based on this requirement, school closures will be extended through Sunday, April 26, 2020. We will communicate further information as to whether this time will be extended as needed. We will continue to provide updates for families regarding meals for any student 18 years of age or younger, remote learning, free fun opportunities for families (national zoo virtual tour, a district fitness challenge, Discovery Channel), and supports. Any operational procedures will be emailed by individual building Principals and Directors. Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding during this very trying time. It is comforting to know and see how our communities rally together to overcome difficult times. We have no doubt that we will overcome this situation with care, patience and support for one another. Things will be different for a while, but we will get through this together! Be well, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools (a.k.a. The Cat in the Hat)

Hello, Food services will be providing FREE breakfast and lunch to ANY student under the age of 18. We will have 3 pick-up sites where bagged meals containing breakfast and lunch will be available from 11 am-12 pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Students will be eligible to take two days worth of meals at time of pick up (except on Friday). Students must be present in the car at time of pick up. Families will be asked to remain in the car at time of pick up and the meals will be handed off to you. The sites available for pick up include Noble High School, Noble Middle School, and Hanson Elementary School. Those who participate in the backpack program will be able to pick up their backpacks at any of our locations on Fridays. Should your family not have access to reliable transportation to get you to a meal site, please fill out this survey and we can coordinate with the transportation department to have a meal delivered: https://forms.gle/8ZkZ4dYBdErq7MGX8 You may also contact the food services department via email or phone call as well.

March 16, 2020 Dear NOBLE Community, We are working to ensure school communication with families will be helpful during the shutdown. Examples of communication that will be coming out soon: Technology resources and tips, Sample student “school schedules,” Meal programs and learning packets (parking lot pick up, or other options), Opportunities for a family member to schedule a time to come in to collect items from schools that may be needed at home, Updates on cancellations /postponements, and Staff Youtube book readings and saying hello to students to keep the personal connection going. Schools and departments will be sending out specific information applicable to your child(ren) and will be available via phone or email. (“Office hours” will be posted.) Please be looking for their communications. Administrators, teachers, and educational technicians have been working on remote learning plans over the past few days /weeks. Most of the work is ready for dissemination. All systems should be up and running by Thursday morning. In the meantime, I offer the following suggestions: Forty minutes reading per day (shared reads with mom or dad are great fun). Checking out some of the built in apps on the iPads that our youngest students have brought home. Try Lexia. What a great resource! One hour of physical activity per day (outdoors when possible). Searching for links to free resources that are opening up during the COVID-19 outbreak (Discovery Education Experience [coming soon], ORIGO Education math videos and fluency builders, and nytimes.com that has, What’s going on in this picture? Film Club Documentaries and daily writing prompts. We are in uncharted territory. We are working hard to do the best for each family, student, and employee that we possibly can. Once again, We thank you for your support and patience. Personally, I want to thank the many citizens and staff who have sent communications expressing positive support for our efforts. Your kind words are appreciated. Regards, Steve Connolly

March 15, 2020 Dear Noble Community, After careful consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic that has now reached Maine, I am notifying all families that MSAD 60 schools will be closed for a two-week period, March 16 through 27. All school activities are suspended. Additionally, all outside facility uses will be suspended during this time. While we have no presumed or confirmed cases in our district or close proximity (false Facebook rumor), MSAD 60 will be doing our part to disrupt the potential exponential growth of COVID-19 cases in Southern Maine. I know this decision creates significant hardship for some families, but the alternative would likely be far worse. All employees will report to their schools/departments at 8:00 AM on Monday, March 16, as previously planned. Staff will work that day to complete long-term preparation for remote and off-site learning as well as to continue cleaning of facilities and transportation. The district's Central Office along with each school's Principal's offices will post hours of operation and will operate with essential staff but will be closed to the public unless otherwise notified. Beginning Wednesday, March 18, we intend to ensure that students will stay on track toward graduation, and younger students will continue to receive most services and as seamless as possible learning; however, we need your support to make that happen. Please work with your child(ren) to set “schoolwork” hours and work expectations. Individual building principals will be sharing each school’s plan for remote/online learning with students and families. Also on March 18, we plan on food delivery to anyone who qualifies for free or reduced meals (almost 900 students). We will coordinate delivery with the Transportation Department - a “knock and drop” that will be announced via School Messenger. If you are not receiving School Messenger communications, please contact your child’s school. There are many pieces to this incredible dilemma that still need to be considered. Please bear with us as we work toward making the best decisions in a most difficult situation. It is possible that this closure will extend beyond the current projected timeline. It is important that all families practice and enforce strict social distancing during this time. If we want to prevent the need to keep our schools closed for a more prolonged period of time, it will be incumbent upon us all to make the sacrifices required to contain the spread of the Coronavirus. School leaders will continue to share updated information regularly, so please watch for these. Additionally, both the national CDC site and the state of Maine CDC have a wealth of information to assist families in staying up to date and continuing to learn more about the virus. One article that might be helpful more immediately on social distancing is LINKED HERE. Please be safe. We will continue to communicate regularly with our families during this closure. Thank you in advance for your support. Regards, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools

March 13, 2020 Dear MSAD 60 Families, We have been in regular contact with the CDC and other health representatives regarding COVID-19. As you may be aware, Governor Mills has requested suspension of gatherings of 250 or more. During the press conference Governor Mills told us that this case of COVID-19 does not necessitate the closure of Maine schools at this time; however, local condition is a factor each district will need to consider. Today was less than an easy day in our schools. While student attendance throughout the district ranged from 86 to 90%, there were 66 absent staff members across most departments - teachers, food service, custodial, drivers - for various reasons. March usually ranks as the highest absentee month each year (typical colds, strep, and flus), but we are experiencing an unusual spike in adult absenteeism right now. Those adults may be sick themselves with the typical winter illnesses, but additionally, some staff have compromised immune systems. Others may have college-age students who have been sent home from those institutions. Many of those returning college students who attend out of state schools are coming home with directives to self quarantine. This has caused several staff members additional home issues with which they must grapple. Due to several factors, I have decided that Monday, March 16 will be a “Teacher Workshop Day”. Teachers and educational technicians will report to schools /departments to complete their plans for distance learning in the event of any extended school closure. This is not an overreaction, this an opportunity to be fully prepared. Other staffs will report to their departments to begin a more indepth cleaning protocol. As soon as we have any different information that affects MSAD 60’s operation we will send out a communication to you through the School Messenger system. If we close schools I will send you information about our plans and a timeline for closure. Your school principals will also provide information about learning details. Please continue to prevent the spread of illness. Wash your hands, cough into your sleeve, stay home if you are sick, consult with your health care provider and monitor information available through the CDC https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/. If you have questions about COVID-19, please call 211. If you have questions about your personal health, please call your healthcare professional. Thank you in advance for helping us follow through with our Strategic Plan Focus Area Four: Healthy and Safe Schools Support Success. We are all doing our part to keep students and staff healthy. If you have questions, I would ask that you contact your child’s principal by school phone or email. I will also be available at the Central Office. Below, please find suggested technology guidelines for K-5 students from Technology Director Chris Russo. Best regards, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools Dear MSAD 60 Parents of K-5 Students, In the event of a future extended school closure we will begin sending home your child's school-issued computer/iPad and the charger starting today. We realize that this is likely the first time your child will be responsible for transporting a computer to and from school each day. These are extraordinary circumstances. Here are some guidelines that will help you and your student with this new responsibility. iPads - Kindergarten & 1st Grade Students: 1. We will ask that the iPad goes back and forth to school with your child each day. 2. In order to protect the screen, please “sandwich” the student iPad between the additional books which are also being sent home. The cases which we use do not have screen protection, as this was not originally intended to be a take home device. 3. Charging cords - please keep the charging cord at home until further notice. 4. Charging - please charge the device overnight. The devices will hold enough charge to get students through the school day. 5. Please establish a location for your child to use the device at home. While in school, students use their desks as their workstation. At home, a table, counter space, etc. could be designated as the workstation. The purpose of designating a space is to limit damage to the device and to help your student “work from home” if needed. 6.There is a filtering system on the device. No filter is 100% effective, and students should only use the devices in a supervised, common area. In addition, the iPads do not have a web browser on them. By design, student use is limited to approved Apps only. Your child is already familiar with the apps he/she may access (i.e. Lexia, Epic, and Google apps). 7.If the device is damaged or you need technical support please email the Technology Help Desk at Techsupport@msad60.org Chromebooks - 2nd Grade through 5th Grade 1.We will ask that the Chromebook goes back and forth to school with your child each day. 2.We realize that the Chromebooks do not have cases. Please do your best to help your child protect the Chromebook while it is in transit. 3.Your child should carry the Chromebook in his/her backpack. 4.Charging cords- Please keep the charging cord at home until further notice. 5.Charging- Please charge the device overnight. The devices will hold enough charge to get students through the school day. 6.Please establish a location for your student to use the device at home. While in school, students use their desks as their workstation. At home, a table, counter space, etc. could be designated as the workstation. The purpose of designating a space is to limit damage to the device and to help your student “work from home” if needed. 7.There is a filtering application on the computer. It filters content based on category and is on at all times. No filter is 100% effective and students should only use the devices in a supervised, common area. 8.If the device is damaged or you need technical support please email the Technology Help Desk at Techsupport@msad60.org As a district, we have been sending devices home with students in grade 6-12 for many years. Inevitably, some devices may be damaged in the process of transporting them or using them at home. We will address damage through the tech HelpDesk on a case by case basis. Please notify us as soon as possible about any damage. We just ask that students use the devices for educational purposes only and treat them carefully. Families would only be charged for device repair/replacement in the event of willful damage or loss of the device. In advance, we thank you for your help and support during this situation. Sincerely, Chris Russo Director of Technology Techsupport@msad60.org

March 9, 2020 Dear Parent/Guardian: We understand that the Novel Coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, is causing much anxiety in our community, country and the world. MSAD 60 is working to provide you with the most up to date information on this rapidly evolving situation. Following is a brief overview of the current situation. For more information and FAQ’s, we recommend you visit https://www.maine.gov/doe/covid-19 What is Known · The virus causing COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified and causes a respiratory illness ranging from a mild cold-like illness to severe pneumonia. · Most (81%) of people diagnosed with COVID-19 in China had mild disease, including most children. · Similar to influenza, the people who are most likely to have severe disease and complications from COVID-19 are older individuals (>60 years old) and those with other medical conditions like heart and lung disease or diabetes. · There is no vaccine or treatment currently available for COVID-19 but the National Institutes of Health is evaluating treatments and developing a vaccine already. · Currently, there is NO confirmed community spread of COVID-19 in Maine, meaning the virus is not being spread from person-to-person. However, experts predict there will eventually be community spread. Our schools are preparing for when/if this happens. How The Virus Spreads · COVID-19 is believed to spread primarily the same way the common cold or flu spreads—through respiratory droplets that are produced when someone coughs or sneezes. · People who are most at risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 are those who have been in close contact (within about 6 feet) with someone who has the disease. · People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest). · Some spread of the virus might be possible before a person has symptoms; there have been reports of this with COVID-19, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. What You Can Do Now · Keep children home when they are sick. o Students (and parents/guardians) who are ill, especially with acute respiratory symptoms (not allergies or chronic conditions), should stay home. · Teach your children to always cover their cough and sneezes with a tissue or elbow. · Remind them to wash their hands with soap and water (or use hand sanitizer) after they touch their face, use the restroom and before they eat. · Tell children to avoid touching their mouth and nose since that is how germs get into the body. · Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects (everyday household disinfectants are fine) o Enhance cleaning of high touch surfaces like door knobs, toilet handles, and sink handles. · Plan for when community spread occurs. o Ensure you have a plan to designate a caregiver, such as a family member or neighbor, for a sick child(ren) if you can’t stay home. o Know your child’s school plan to communicate with you when needed, such as robocalls, email or checking their website. Because most people with COVID-19 have mild disease, the likelihood that we will be closing schools is very low, but not zero. In the highly unlikely chance that a decision to close school due to a COVID-19 outbreak is made, it is important for parents/guardians to have a plan for who could take care of your child. We are receiving updates as The Maine Department of Education is working directly with Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor this evolving situation. We will continue to provide new information to the community as things change. Sincerely, Steve Connolly

Agenda January 22, 2020 Minutes of January 22, 2020

Agenda December 16, 2019 Minutes of December 16, 2019

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING February 27, 2020 A meeting of the Board of Directors was held at Noble High School in North Berwick, Maine on February 27, 2020 at 7:00 pm, with all members present except Ms. Neubert and Ms. Beal. There were 80 people in the audience. Ms. Mallett, Vice Chair shared the explanatory statements regarding public input. Public Input: None at this time. Mr. Connolly introduced Mr. Aaron Watson, MSAD 60 Athletic Director, to present a sports update. The focus specifically on the Noble wrestling and track accomplishments. Click this link for Mr. Watson’s details regarding these accomplishments. Mr. Watson introduced Mr. Kevin Gray, Noble’s head wrestling coach. Mr. Gray introduced several of his accomplished athletes. Mr. Gray thanked his assistant coaches, the community and the local fire and police departments for their support. Mr. Connolly congratulated all the coaches and athletes. The minutes of January 16th were reviewed. Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Corliss to accept the minutes of January 16th. All members voted in favor except Mr. Doiron who abstained and the motion passed. Student Report: Ms. Caitlyn McCabe and Mr. Sam Grant shared their student report. Click this link for their report. Budget Presentation Workshop: Mr. Connolly presented updates to the budget. Superintendent Budget Presentation 2020-2020 New Positions Formal meeting stopped for 30 minutes for the Board members to ask for clarification or questions of the school administrators. VW Settlement Funds/State Bus Subsidy - Mr. Connolly shared the Maine DOT’s decision to replace one of the two buses that we submitted for consideration under the VW Settlement Funds application. Click here to review the letter from the State of Maine. Mr. Connolly notified the Board that the NBES PTO donated $329 to the Backpack program. Each month North Berwick Elementary chooses a word of the month. Empathy was December’s word. The PTO held a holiday family event that asked families to make monetary or food donations for the Backpack program as an entry fee to the event. The Board thanked North Berwick Elementary School and PTO. Ms. Schaeffer shared an update on the Superintendent Search. Interviews took place on February 26, 2020. Six candidates were interviewed by 20 people consisting of Board members, staff, community members and students. The 20 interviewers met prior to the interview date to finalize the questions to be asked during the interview. The next steps are: 1) Each of the three finalists will tour the schools in the district and participate in question and answer community event, 2) The Board will meet on March 19, 2020 to review questions they will ask during the final interviews, 3) Final interviews will be held the week of April 6, 2020, 4) The Board will vote to approve the final candidate on April 16, 2020. Mr. Connolly presented the building committee update. He and Mr. Moore met with CHA to review spacing, insuring square footage and population studies. The census data for Lebanon and North Berwick seemed reasonable. The census data for Berwick posed a problem indicating that the student population would only increase by seven between now and 2029, this seems unrealistic given the growth Berwick has seen to date. Ms. Mallett asked what information is being used to compile the data. Mr. Connolly answered that the census determination is based on live births, permits, economy and property being built. The other factors for Berwick are the 55+ community (only 1 member of the household has to be over 55) slated to go in across the street from Hussey School and the Prime Tanning renovation which includes apartments. The current plan for the district: 1) First floor wing at NBES connecting to current building, 2) Relocate district wide services from Hussey to NBES. The District does not want to be in the middle of a 20 year bond and have to increase the building again. The decision to put the referendum on the major construction in the district on September 15, 2020 was due to not being ready for the June vote and the November vote would be too late to book contractors. The District will be on the hook for $329,000 in fees if the bond does not pass, if it does pass the fees are rolled into the project cost. Mr. Connolly shared the results of the School Revolving Renovation Fund. There are 4 projects for a cost of $1.8 million of which the state will cover $1 million. Leaving a $730,000 bond that will go out for vote in June. Bill Stockmeyer, Drummond Woodsum attorney, will share sample language to assist in writing the bond for vote. Mr. Doiron inquired about the projects we received through RRF. Sprinklers will need to be installed. The asbestos abatement at NMS is planned for this summer. A grant was received to help complete Phase 3 at NMS. Updates to the music, cafe, chorus, locker administrative area and library at NMS are planned for summer 2021. All attempts will be made to reduce the cost to the towns for any projects that absolutely need to be done. Mr. Connolly presented the 2020-2021 Calendar for Board approval. Our calendar is six days out of sync with SRTC because of the election day on November 3, 2021. The district will seek an exemption for being over the five day maximum. The teacher association has reviewed the proposed calendar. Mr. Doiron commented that several parents have complained to him about the Thursday schedule. He inquired if there has been consideration for Teacher workshop days once per month. Mr. Connolly responded that the current State language for teachers accountability to scores and curriculum work warrant the weekly work. It also always teachers the opportunity to meet with colleagues weekly to make current updates to instruction and develop consistent plans district wide. In addition a once per month workshop day would impact the budget substantially due to an increase in teacher paid days to 185 per year instead of 181 and extend the student calendar. 2020-2021 School Calendar Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by and Ms. Corliss 2nd, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly shared MSAD 60’s Guidelines regarding ED 1684- Food Shaming Bill ED 1684- Food Shaming Bill MSAD 60 Guidelines Students who may owe a balance are eligible to receive the regular meal offered. Food Service does not have to provide a la carte items as those are not reimbursed unlike the regular meal. Mr. Doiron inquired how much debt is incurred for unpaid balances. Ms. Van Campen responded that $7,627 was transferred last year to cover the outstanding balance. Green Truck Farm has donated $2,500 to assist with outstanding balances. The District budgets $25,000 towards food service needs, i.e. equipment needing to be replaced and covering outstanding balances. Ms. Mallett asked if there is a mechanism in place to encourage families to apply for the Free and Reduced Lunch program. Mr. Connolly responded that efforts were made in the past to contact families, but this did not seem to increase the number of applications received. The food service department is currently seeing record a higher number of applications than in the past. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of the retirement of physical education teacher Rebecca Good after 36 years of dedicated service at Noble Middle School. We wish her the best. With much regret Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to accept Ms. Good’s retirement, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of physical education teacher David Sprague after 38 years of dedicated service at Noble Middle School. We wish him the best. With much regret Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Corliss to accept Mr. Sprague’s retirement, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of the leave of absence for the remainder of the school year of teacher Kristine Rickard at Lebanon Elementary. Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to accept Ms. Rickard’s leave of absence, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval to hire Sarah McGonigle to teach second grade at Hussey School. Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by and Ms. Corliss 2nd to approve Ms. McGonigle’s employment, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly shared NMS word of the week. Students talked to him about how they have a word each week they learn and are challenged to use. These seemingly small things make a big difference for student literacy. Ms. Deb Butler elaborated (recent NMS word of the week) that there is a contest for students to hear staff use the word during the week. Ms. Mallett shared an update from her recent Berwick Comprehensive Planning Committee Meeting. A regional economic development group has been hired to gather census data such as where are people working, tax revenue, what kind of jobs are available. This data will be used as the Prime Tanning development begins. The plan stands to offer a lot of retail space and some residential. There is concern with the disconnect of the data gathered and actual growth. In the fall a meeting will take place to discuss the future growth and development of the District towns. Ms. Mallett and Mr. Doiron commented on the Costa Rica trip and what a great experience it was for the students and the outstanding efforts by the teachers who organized and attended. Ms. Schaeffer made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to adjourn. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 9:54 pm. Respectfully Submitted, Steve Connolly Secretary of the Board

Ms. Denise Van Campen introduced Ms. Amy Chasse from RKO, Runyon Kersteen Ouellette, our accounting firm, who then shared with the board the audit that was conducted and a financial overview of the district. (insert the powerpoint here) She shared with the board the general process of what an audit looks for and noted that the district had no findings which means that all information presented to the board is accurate. There are some internal control comments that will be shared and modifications may be made going forward in a few areas in relation to activity accounts. Ms. Chasse then walked through the documents and took questions. Ms. Jen England shared with the board a presentation regarding the Multiple Pathways program at Noble High School that she directs. She gave a history of the program, described the students who thrive there as well as the wonderful staff who support the students. The board asked many questions regarding the programming and shared the positive feedback that they have received over the course of time regarding MP.

Ms. Beal asked about the potential of Blizzard Bags for the District and/or state of Maine. At this point we are aware some districts have opted to pilot Blizzard Bags, but we have not heard any updates on that. The major holdup that we recall is the requirement that teachers be readily accessible for students if we are able to count those days. Ms. Beal also asked about the potential referendum vote focused on construction in September of this year and wanted to understand the reasoning why we were voting separate from the November national election. Ms. Beal shared that she was speaking on behalf of several citizens who brought this concern to her attention. Ms. Potter noted that she and Mr. Connolly had explained the reasoning behind this at a Lebanon Selectmen’s meeting. Mr. Connolly shared that the logic behind this is to be sure that the citizens have a clear understanding of the expenditures in regards to the elementary school renovations, etc. and have the ability to vote on it singly. Also, the timeline for summer scheduling of work requires an earlier start than a November referendum. Second Public input: Ms. Terry Wright shared with the board an update regarding top ten videos that were provided… in the top five was our Dec. 19th 2019 school board meeting.

NEPN/NSBA Code:  IJJ INSTRUCTIONAL AND LIBRARY MATERIALS SELECTION Objectives of Selection The Board recognizes that it is the primary objective of the library media centers and the instructional program in our schools to implement, enrich and support the education programs of the schools.  It is the duty of the library media centers and the instructional program to provide a wide range of materials on all levels of difficulty, with diversity of appeal and the presentation of different points of view. To this end, the Board asserts that the responsibility of the School Library Media Center and the instructional program is: A. To provide materials that will enrich and support the curriculum, taking into consideration the varied interests, abilities, and maturity levels of the students served; B. To provide materials that will stimulate growth in factual knowledge, literary appreciation, aesthetic values and ethical standards; C. To provide a background of information that will enable students to make intelligent judgments in their daily lives; D. To provide materials on opposing sides of controversial issues so that young citizens may develop under guidance the practice of critical analysis of all media; E. To provide materials representative of the many religious, ethnic and cultural groups and their contributions to our American heritage; and F. To place principle above personal opinion and reason above prejudice in selection of materials of the highest quality in order to assure a comprehensive collection appropriate for the users of the library media center and a variety of resources to be used in the instructional program. In addition, the Board recognizes that the final authority as to what materials an individual student will be exposed rests with that student’s parents or guardians.  However, at no time will the wishes of one child’s parents to restrict his/her reading or viewing of a particular item infringe on other parents’ rights to permit their children to read or view the same material. Responsibility for Selection of Instructional and Library Materials The Board is legally responsible for all matters relating to the operation of the schools.  The responsibility for the selection of instructional materials is delegated to the professionally trained personnel employed by the Board. Selection of materials for the library media centers and the instructional program involves many people:  principals, teachers, department heads, students and community members. The responsibility for the coordination of the selection of library and instructional materials and the recommendation for purchase rests with professionally trained personnel. Criteria for Selection The needs of the individual school, based on knowledge of the curriculum and of the existing collection, are given first consideration. Materials for purchase are considered on the following bases:  overall purpose, timeliness or permanence, importance of the subject matter, quality of the writing/production, readability and popular appeal, authoritativeness, reputation of the publisher/producer, reputation and significance of the author/artist/composer/producer, etc., and format and price. Gift materials are judged by the same standards and are accepted or rejected by those standards.  Multiple copies of outstanding and much-in-demand materials are purchased as needed. Worn or missing standard items are replaced periodically.  Out- of-date or no-longer-useful materials are withdrawn from the collection/circulation. Procedures for Selection In selecting the materials for purchase, the professional personnel evaluate the existing collection, consulting reputable, unbiased, professionally prepared selection aids and specialists from all departments and/or all grade levels. Challenged Materials Despite the care taken to select materials for student and teacher use and the qualifications of the persons who select the materials, it is recognized that occasional objections may be raised by community members, students, or school staff. In the event a complaint is made, the following procedures will apply: A. The complainant shall be asked to complete a “Request for Reconsideration of Materials” form. B. A meeting shall be held with the complainant, the person who provided the material in question and the building principal.  If the complaint is not resolved at this meeting, the parties shall meet with the Superintendent. C. If the issue is not resolved at the meeting with the Superintendent, the Superintendent and Board Chairperson shall appoint an Educational Materials Review Committee composed of the following persons to review the complaint:  two administrators, two members of the Board of Directors, two teachers, two parents, two students and the school librarian. D. The Educational Materials Review Committee shall:  read and examine the materials referred to them; check general acceptance of materials by reading reviews (if available); weigh merits and faults of the material, and form opinions based on the material as a whole and not on passages or portions pulled out of context; and meet to discuss the material and to prepare written recommendations for action of the Board of Directors. E. The Committee recommendations shall be forwarded to the Superintendent who will place the issue on the next regular Board of Directors meeting agenda or call a special meeting if deemed appropriate by the Superintendent and Board Chairperson. The Board shall review the material and the Committee’s recommendation in terms of the best interests of students, the educational program, and the community. F. No materials shall be removed from use until a final decision has been made. G. The Board will announce its decision in writing not later than the conclusion of the next regular meeting of the Board.
