MSBA - 10/92 ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only Page 1 FILE: IGC Critical EXTENDED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS The Adult Education The Board may provide school facilities for the purpose of maintaining and expanding programs and services for persons interested in adult education. Such programs shall be commensurate with the needs of the community. The Board may provide administrative, ancillary and other supportive services needed to enhance the quality of the adult education program; however, the program shall be provided only out of revenue derived by the school district from sources other than state appropriations. Early Childhood The critical importance of the early years in determining the educational development of children is recognized by the Board. Insofar as resources permit, programs designed to help meet the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of preschool age children are encouraged. The district will provide services to students with disabilities beginning at age three (3) in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and as required by other applicable law. Extended School Year Extended school year (ESY) services may be necessary to provide a child with a disability a free appropriate public education pursuant to the law of special educational services. A student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) team will determine whether ESY services are necessary and the length, nature and type of services to be provided. Extended-Day Child Care The district may establish before- and after-school child care programs for students between the ages of five (5) and 14 and for the children of students. The district may establish such a program directly or with any not-for-profit corporation. _________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGC-C.1F (7/02) Page 1 FILE: IGC Critical Reading Improvement Instruction (Grades K-3) The district may provide a program of reading improvement instruction for students in kindergarten through third grade who do not meet the district's objectives for reading. Students receiving such instruction can be counted toward additional average daily attendance for extra hours of instruction falling outside the traditional school day. Reading Improvement Instruction (Grades 3-6) The district will design and implement a reading improvement plan with at least 30 hours of additional reading instruction or practice outside the regular school day for students in grades four (4) through six (6) who do not meet minimum standards on the district’s reading assessment, as required by law. The district will also design and implement reading improvement plans for students determined prior to the beginning of any school year to have a cognitive ability insufficient to meet minimum reading standards for students in grades three (3) through six (6), as required by law. Remediation as a Condition of Promotion The district requires remediation as a condition of promotion to the next grade level for any student identified by the district as failing to master skills and competencies established for that particular grade level. The superintendent or designee shall determine which skills and competencies must be mastered, how they are to be assessed and what remediation is appropriate. The district may operate remediation programs outside the regular school day, including summer school. Such remediation shall recognize that different students learn differently and shall employ methods designed to help those students achieve at high levels. The district will pursue all available state or federal aid for such programs. Summer School The district shall establish a summer school program for reading instruction with a minimum of 40 hours of reading instruction and practice for all students with a reading improvement plan. The district may offer a pre-kindergarten summer school to students who will reach the age of five (5) before August 1 of the school year beginning in that calendar year. Summer school may also be utilized for remediation as a condition of promotion. Supplementary Educational Services The district may be required to arrange for provision of free supplementary educational services to low-income students who attend a school that has been identified for school improvement as ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGC-C.1F (7/02) Page 2 FILE: IGC Critical required by law. The district will notify parents of children eligible to receive these services and provide these parents with a list of state-approved service providers in the area, a description of the services available and, if requested, assist the parents in selecting a provider. The district, in consultation with the parents and the provider, will develop a plan for improving the student’s achievement for every child receiving services. The plan will articulate how progress reports will be shared with the parents and the school. This plan will be consistent with the IEP of any student receiving special services under IDEA. Violence Prevention The district may provide a violence prevention instructional program. The program shall instruct students of the negative consequences of membership in or association with criminal street gangs or street gang activity, encourage nonviolent conflict resolution of problems facing youth, present alternative constructive activities for the students and encourage community participation in program instruction. The program shall be administered as appropriate for different grade levels and shall not be offered for academic credit. The district will contact the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for guidance in establishing a violence prevention instructional program and will apply for any available state or federal aid. * * * * * * * Note: The reader is encouraged to review administrative procedures and/or forms for related information in support of this policy area.

students in grades 1 -12 who, in the opinion of staff members and parents,
could benefit from developing better basic skills necessary for advancing to
the next grade level. The Board will
annually assess the objectives of the summer school, and will determine the
length of the day and term of each summer session. This special service is provided on a
tuition-free basis to Extended School Year An IEP is developed for each identified eligible handicapped student for whom the district is to provide direct or contractual special education and related services. No one part of the IEP is more essential than the other. Rather, a continuity of flow, from screening information, to accurate comprehensive assessment, to the present level of performance, to the goals and objectives, is critical. Accurate decisions for placement in the least restrictive environment, the necessity for the extended school year, will be dependent upon the development and ongoing evaluation of an appropriate IEP. It is essential that all of a student's special education and related service needs are addressed in one IEP. Adopted: ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only Page 1 FILE: IGD Critical DISTRICT- SPONSORED EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS (Districts Allowing Noncurricular Groups) The Board of Education believes that student activities sponsored by the school district are a vital part of the total educational program and should be used as a means of developing social interactions, as well as knowledge and skills. The Board further recognizes that not all of the district's goals and objectives can be met in formal classroom study. Therefore, the Board authorizes the use of the district's facilities, employees and funds to provide student extracurricular activities or groups. The Board directs the district’s superintendent or designee to administer the district’s extracurricular activities and groups in keeping with this policy, and to create administrative procedures to further the district’s goals. Definitions All district-sponsored activities, groups and organizations meeting or occurring during noninstructional time will be referred to as extracurricular. However, extracurricular activities and groups will be further categorized as follows for legal purposes: Cocurricular Activity or Group: A school-sponsored activity or group primarily involving students and occurring outside of academic class time, where Ø The subject matter of the activity or group is or will be taught in a regularly offered class; Ø The subject matter of the activity or group concerns the body of courses as a whole; Ø Participation in the group is a requirement for a course; or Ø Academic credit is granted for participation. Noncurricular Activity or Group: School-sponsored activities or groups primarily involving students and meeting outside of academic class time, which are not cocurricular. General All extracurricular activities must have a duly-appointed sponsor, advisor or coach who is a district employee. Before assuming the duties of a sponsor, advisor or coach, the district must have on file a recent background check of the employee. It shall be the duty of such individuals to attend all meetings, functions or practices of the various groups, to advise and supervise students, and to keep the building principal informed regarding activities. All district-sponsored extracurricular activities should be included on the school calendar. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGD-C.1C (8/01) Page 1 FILE: IGD Critical All students participating in extracurricular activities or groups are subject to district supervision and discipline. Students must comply with all policies, eligibility requirements, rules and procedures established by the district or established by the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA), when applicable. Unless participation is required for an academic course in which the student is enrolled, participation in all extracurricular activities or groups is voluntary. Pursuant to state law and upon the adoption of a resolution by a majority of the entire Board, the district may designate extracurricular activities that the Board believes presents unusual physical hazards to students. The Board may then authorize the expenditure of school funds to purchase medical insurance covering students while engaged in the activity, if the purchase of insurance would constitute a financial hardship to the parent/guardian or student. Exclusion from Activities or Groups Students may belong to and take part in all extracurricular activities or groups for which they are qualified, regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, ancestry or disability. Unless participation in a group or activity is required for a course in which the student is enrolled, participation is a privilege, not a right. Students may be excluded from these groups as a disciplinary action, as a consequence for poor performance in school, or otherwise as determined by district administration. A student and/or his or her parents/guardians are not entitled to a hearing solely because the student has been excluded from an extracurricular activity which is not required for a course in which the student is enrolled. * * * * * * * Note: The reader is encouraged to review administrative procedures and/or forms for related information in support of this policy area.

Student-initiated groups will not be denied access on the basis of religious, political, philosophical or other content of speech at such meetings. The superintendent or designee may create administrative procedures to govern the use of school facilities by student-initiated noncurricular groups, for the purpose of this policy. Community use of school facilities is governed by policy KG. To make use of the school facilities, a student-initiated noncurricular meeting must meet the following criteria: Ø The student-initiated groups must be limited to secondary school students and can only meet at secondary schools. Ø The meetings must be held during noninstructional times. Ø A meeting must be voluntary and student initiated. No student shall be in any way coerced to participate in religious activity. Ø Employees of the district or other adults may not sponsor, promote, or
lead student-initiated groups or meetings.
However, a teacher, administrator or other school employee may be Ø Employees and agents of the school are to be present solely in a nonparticipatory capacity at any student-initiated religious activity held at school and will strictly observe a policy of official neutrality regarding religious activity. Ø The meeting may not materially and substantially interfere with the orderly conduct of educational activities within the school. Ø Except for incidental building costs, no public funds will be expended for student-initiated noncurriculum-related groups. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDA-C.1A (8/01) Page 1 FILE: IGDA Critical Student Conduct at Meetings Students attending student-initiated groups or activities must follow all school rules and procedures governing student conduct. The school reserves the right to maintain order and discipline, as well as to protect the safety and well-being of students and employees. Access to Communication Channels Noncurriculum-related, student-initiated groups at the secondary school level shall have the same access allowed to all other noncurriculum-related student groups to channels of communication for publicizing their meetings, including the public address system, designated bulletin boards, school newspapers and the calendar of events. However, the school may uniformly state in these media that such organizations or their meetings are not sponsored by the school. * * * * * * * Note: The reader is encouraged to review administrative procedures and/or forms for related information in support of this policy area.

During this time they will not be allowed to represent the school in any extra curricular activities. At the end of the two week suspension period a grade check will be ran to determine the student's cumulative grade standing in his classes. If a student display's satisfactory progress at the end of the two week suspension period they will then be placed on probation for the remainder of the current quarter. During this probationary period a student will be allowed to represent the school in extra curricular activities. Also during the probationary period the student's cumulative quarter grades will be checked weekly. If at any check point the student fails to meet the minimum requirements of a C- grade average with no F's they then will be placed on suspension from representing the school in any extra curricular activities for the remainder of the current quarter. For students who transfer in to our school, and fail to meet the minimum academic requirements listed above, they will be placed on a two week suspension from activities. During this time they will not be allowed to represent the school in any extra curricular activities. At the end of the two week suspension period they will be placed on probation for the remainder of the current quarter. During this probationary period a student will be allowed to represent the school in extra curricular activities. At the conclusion of a four week period a grade check will be made in all classes to assure that they are making satisfactory progress. Further grade checks will occur weekly until the end of the current quarter. If satisfactory progress is not being made at any of the check points they then will be placed on suspension from representing the school in any extra curricular activities for the remainder of the current quarter, at which time their grades will determine future representation in extra curricular activities. After having been enrolled for one quarter should a student fail to meet the minimum academic requirements listed above for two successive quarters, they then are suspended from representing the school, as stated above, for the entire next quarter. Note: Any organization has the right to impose stricter standards than those in this policy for consideration for participation in that organization with the principal’s permission. Revised: ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only Page 1 FILE: IGDAA Critical STUDENT GROUP USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES Secondary schools of the district will provide an opportunity for student-initiated, non-curricular groups to meet on school premises during non-instructional time, providing a limited open forum environment, as described in this policy. An activity is to be considered curricular if the subject matter is or will be taught in a regularly offered class; if the subject matter concerns the body of courses as a whole; if participation in the group is a requirement for a course; or if academic credit is granted for participation. Extracurricular activities will be those organized and supervised activities conducted under the auspices of the school district which primarily involve students in activities occurring outside academic class time, for which no units of credit are awarded. Any activity which does not fit these guidelines will be considered non-curricular. Pursuant to the Equal Access Act, secondary schools of the district will not deny equal access and a fair opportunity to student-initiated, non-curricular groups who wish to conduct a meeting on school premises during non-instructional time, on the basis of religious, political, philosophical or other content of the speech at such meetings. To make use of the school facilities, a non-curricular meeting must meet the following criteria: Ø A meeting must be voluntary and student-initiated. No student shall be in any way coerced to participate in religious activity. Teachers and school administrators, when acting within the course and scope of their employment, will strictly observe a policy of official neutrality regarding religious activity. Ø No sponsorship, promotion,
leadership or participation in the meeting by the school or any employee of the
school is permitted, and no group violating this prohibition shall have access
to the school facilities. However, a
teacher, administrator or other school employee may be Ø Employees and agents of the school, if present at any religious meetings, are to be solely in a non-participatory capacity. Ø The meeting does not materially and substantially interfere with the orderly conduct of educational activities within the school. Ø Non-school persons may not direct, conduct, control or regularly attend the meetings of a non-curricular group making use of this limited open forum. * * * * * * * ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDAA-C.1D (8/98) Page 1 FILE: IGDAA Critical Adopted: Cross Refs: KG, Community Use of School Facilities Legal Refs: The Equal Access Act (1984), 20 U.S.C. 4701, 4702 "Religious Expression in Public Schools," ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDAA-C.1D (8/98) Page 2 FILE: IGDB Critical STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Board recognizes creative student expression as an educational

Its purposes are to promote communication between classes and allow students the opportunity to illustrate their creativity and writing skills. The paper may be distributed for a nominal charge to students. Ø Yearbook -- A yearbook will be published under the direction of a faculty sponsor. Its purpose will be to provide a history of pertinent information and school events for the current school year. The yearbook will be available to students at a cost to be annually determined by the school administration. Ø Web Pages -- Students may be allowed to create or edit web pages under the direction of a designated faculty member. Its purposes are to inform the district staff, students and community of school news and to stimulate creativity and knowledge of new media. School-sponsored publications and productions are part of the curriculum and are not a public forum for general student use. School authorities may edit or delete material which is inconsistent with the district's legitimate educational concerns. All student media shall comply with the ethics and rules of responsible journalism.

Guidelines: Students may distribute, at reasonable times and places, unofficial material, including but not limited to petitions, buttons, badges, or other insignia. If the district allows students to use its technology resources for non-curricular purposes, any exchange of unofficial material which is delivered or accessed using district technology resources is also subject to this policy. However, students cannot distribute expressions which: A. Are obscene to minors. B. Are libelous. C. Are pervasively indecent or vulgar (secondary schools)/contain any indecent or vulgar language (elementary schools). D. Advertise any product or service not permitted to minors by law. E. Constitute insulting or fighting words, the very expression of which injures or harasses other people (e.g., threats of violence, defamation of character or of a person's race, religion or ethnic origin). F. Present a clear and present likelihood that, either because of their content or their manner of distribution, will cause a material and substantial disruption of the proper and orderly operation and discipline of the school or school activities, will cause the commission of unlawful acts or the violation of lawful school procedures. II. Procedures Anyone wishing to distribute unofficial material must first submit for approval a copy of the material to the principal or designee 24 hours in advance of desired distribution time, together with the following information: A. Name and phone number of the person submitting request. B. Date(s) and time(s) of day of intended distribution. C. Location where material will be distributed. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDBA-C.1D (10/00) Page 1 FILE: IGDBA Critical D. The grade(s) of students to whom the distribution is intended. Within 24 hours of submission, the principal (or his or her designee) will render a decision whether the material violates the Guidelines in Section I or the time, place and manner restrictions in Section III of this policy. In the event that permission to distribute the material is denied, the person submitting the request should be informed in writing of the reasons for the denial. Permission to distribute material does not imply approval of its contents by the school, the administration, the Board, or the individual reviewing the material submitted. If the person submitting the request does not receive a response within 24 hours of submission, the person shall contact the office to verify that the lack of response was not due to an inability to locate the person. If the person has made this verification and there is no response to the request, the material may be distributed in accordance with the time, place and manner provisions in Section III. If the person is dissatisfied with the decision of the principal (or designee), the person may submit a written request for appeal to the superintendent of schools or his or her secretary. If the person does not receive a response within three days (not counting Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of submitting the appeal, the person shall contact the office of the superintendent to verify that the lack of response is not due to an inability to locate the person. If the person has made this verification and there is no response to the appeal, the material may be distributed in accordance with the time, place and manner provisions in Section III. At every level of the process, the person submitting the request shall have the right to appear and present the reasons supported by relevant witnesses and material, as to why distribution of the unofficial material is appropriate. III. Time, Place and Manner of Distribution The distribution of unofficial material shall be limited to a reasonable time, place and manner as follows: A. No unofficial material may be distributed during and at the place of a normal school activity if it is reasonably likely to cause a material and substantial disruption of that activity. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDBA-C.1D (10/00) Page 2 FILE: IGDBA Critical B. Distribution of unofficial material is prohibited when it blocks the safe flow of traffic within corridors and entrance ways of the school or when it disrupts the use of district technology resources. IV. Definitions The following definitions apply to the following terms as used in this policy: A. "Obscene to minors" is defined as: 1. The average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the unofficial material, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest of minors of the age to whom distribution is requested; and/or 2. The unofficial material depicts or describes, in a manner that is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community concerning how such conduct should be presented to minors of the age to whom distribution is requested, sexual conduct such as intimate sexual acts (normal or perverted), masturbation, excretory functions, and lewd exhibition of the genitals; and/or 3. The unofficial material, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors. B. "Minor" means any person under the age of 18. C. "Material and substantial disruption" of a normal school activity is defined as follows: 1. Where the normal school activity is an educational program of the district for which student attendance is compulsory, "material and substantial disruption" is defined as any disruption which interferes with or impedes the implementation of that program. 2. Where the normal school activity is voluntary in nature (including, without limitation, school athletic events, school plays and concerts, and lunch periods), "material and substantial disruption" is defined as student rioting, unlawful seizures of property, widespread shouting or boisterous conduct inappropriate to the event, participation in a school boycott, demonstration, sit-in, stand-in, walk-out or other related forms of activity. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDBA-C.1D (10/00) Page 3 FILE: IGDBA Critical In order for expression to be considered disruptive, there must exist specific facts upon which the likelihood of disruption can be forecast, including past experience in the school, current events influencing student activities and behavior, and instances of actual or threatened disruption relating to the material in question. D. "School activities" means any activity of students sponsored by the school and includes -- by way of example, and not by way of limitation -- classroom work, library activities, physical education classes, official assemblies and other similar gatherings, school athletic contests, band concerts, school plays, and in-school lunch periods. E. "Unofficial material" includes all written or pictorial communications except school publications funded and/or sponsored or authorized by the school. Examples include leaflets, buttons, badges, insignia, brochures, flyers, petitions, placards, underground newspapers, websites, links to websites, and e-mails, whether created by students or others. F. "Libelous" is a false and unprivileged statement about a specific individual that tends to harm the individual's reputation, or to lower him or her in the esteem of the community. G. "Distribution" means circulation or dissemination of unofficial material by means of handing out free copies, selling or offering copies for sale and accepting donations for copies or delivery via district technology. It includes displaying unofficial material in areas of the school which are generally frequented by students. V. Disciplinary Action Distribution by a student of unofficial material prohibited in Section I or in violation of Section III may be treated as a violation of the student discipline code. VI.

District-Sponsored Fundraisers The Board prefers that the school district financially support district-sponsored student programs and activities. However, in some cases it may be necessary to raise funds to help support these district endeavors, and the district may involve students in these fundraising activities. The superintendent and principals will be directly responsible for all district-sponsored fundraising activities conducted in the district or sponsored in any manner by the district. All district-sponsored fundraising activities must first be approved by the building principal and/or the superintendent or designee and must comply with the requirements set out in district policies and procedures, including the district's wellness program and district funds management rules. All funds collected in a district-sponsored fundraiser will be deposited in district accounts. Student-Initiated Group Fundraisers Student-initiated groups are not district sponsored, but these groups have the same access to district facilities, communications channels and fundraising opportunities as other district-sponsored non-curricular groups. These groups may conduct fundraising activities, but must follow the same rules applicable to other district-sponsored non-curricular groups. Fundraising by Other Groups For liability and funds management purposes, it is essential that district staff not confuse district-sponsored fundraising with fundraising conducted by booster clubs or other groups not directly controlled by the district. Although the district welcomes community involvement in and support of district programs, the district cannot take responsibility for fundraising or the funds collected by such groups. To avoid confusing parents, students and community members participating in the fundraising efforts, only district-sponsored fundraising subject to district rules may occur during the school day or class time. A group may only use the name, logo or mascot of the district or of a district school in reference to a fundraiser if the fundraiser has been approved by the superintendent or designee or the School Board and the funds raised go to the district as represented in the advertising. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IGDF-C.1C (11/06) Page 1 FILE: IGDF Critical * * * * * * * Note: The reader is encouraged to check the index located at the beginning of this section for other pertinent policies and to review administrative procedures and/or forms for related information.

As a voluntary, free-time program, intramurals should provide students an opportunity to learn skills and to implement, in a competitive setting, the knowledge they have acquired in the instructional phase of physical education. This experience should enhance the values inherent in competitive athletics, including team play, sportsmanship, group loyalties and the refinement of skills.

An interscholastic athletic program shall be conducted in the school district to further the development of students as competitors and spectators through friendly interschool contests. The purpose of the program is to develop leadership, good sportsmanship, personality development, new friendships and a friendly rivalry with other schools. The Board will provide interscholastic athletic competition for secondary school students in a variety of sports.

Members of the student body, whether participants or spectators, are urged to exhibit exemplary behavior at interscholastic events. These events provide an excellent opportunity to display school spirit, and to show pride in the district. Since interscholastic athletic events are an extension of the classroom, the school discipline code will be enforced in relation to student conduct. Coaches of all teams will be trained in the methods of establishing policies of good sportsmanship in their players, and they will be considered as role models in this respect. The district will work with the Missouri State High School Activities Association and other organizations to promote good sportsmanship by the patrons of athletic events. The Board will utilize the print and broadcast media to disseminate its policies on good sportsmanship, and will work with parents, alumni associations and local service organizations to keep sportsmanship a top priority. The Board will establish regulations for crowd control at district events. The regulations will stress the type of exemplary behavior, ethics and integrity that should be exhibited by all players and spectators, and will provide for corrective measures to be taken, when necessary, to maintain an atmosphere conducive to the enjoyment of the event.

Since the Board is a policy-making body, it delegates to professional personnel of the district the authority for the selection of instructional materials in accordance with Board policies and regulations. Every effort will be made to ensure that instructional materials are distributed equitably among the district's schools so that a balanced distribution of instructional materials will occur. Free textbooks are provided in grades K-12. Materials for the school classrooms and school libraries will be selected by the appropriate professional personnel, in consultation with the administration. When the budget for the year is approved in final form by the Board, the superintendent or designee shall direct the purchase of books, supplies, equipment and other instructional materials required, within the limits of the adopted budget. The superintendent or designee shall audit all claims and submit to the Board for approval and authorization for payment. It is the responsibility of the professional staff to select instructional materials of the highest quality that will support the educational curriculum and goals of the district. Consideration should be given to all available textbooks in the content area to provide opportunities for each child to realize his or her greatest potential through education. The value and impact of any textbook, library or other instructional material will be judged as a whole, taking into account the purpose of the material rather than individual and isolated expressions or incidents of the work. Multi-cultural, disability-aware and gender-fair concepts will be criteria for selection of materials. The district shall preferentially procure educational materials, including textbooks and collected materials, from vendors who make the materials available in either Braille format or electronic format which is computer-readable in a form approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, at no greater cost than for regular materials. * * * * * * * Adopted: Cross Refs: DK, Payment Procedures KLB, Public Complaints About the Curriculum and Instructional or Media Materials Legal Refs: §§ 170.051 - .171, RSMo. ______________________________________________________________________ For Office Use Only: IIA-C.1D (10/99) Page 1 FILE: IIAC Critical INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA CENTERS/SCHOOL LIBRARIES The Board believes that instructional media centers/libraries are a fundamental part of the educational process.

It is the goal of the Board of Education to provide circulating material, reference resources and electronic media to meet or supplement the needs of the students and teachers in the school system. The district shall strive to meet the school media standards as prescribed by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district librarians, teachers and administrators have the responsibility of recommending and selecting materials for the district, in accordance with state and district guidelines, and reconsidering or reviewing the district's collection as needed. The same criteria used to select new materials for the district will be used to determine whether the district will accept any gift of materials or to determine the selection of materials purchased with a monetary gift from an individual or group. District librarians will organize and maintain the district's collection and aid students and staff members in locating resources. The superintendent or designee will create procedures as needed to enforce the district policies and administer the district's media centers and libraries. Intellectual Access The library media program serves as a point of access to information and ideas for students as they acquire critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students and educators served by the library media program should have access to resources and services free of constraints resulting from artificial barriers. Students will have access to library media selected and available in accordance with district policy and library media guidelines. Confidentiality Individually identifiable library records will be confidential as required by law.

Statement of Confidentiality The members of the American Library Association, recognizing the right to privacy of library users, believe that records held in libraries which connect specific individuals with specific resources, programs, or service, are confidential and not to be used for purposes other than routine record keeping: to maintain access to resources, to assure that resources are available to users who need them, to arrange facilities, to provide resources for the comfort and safety of patrons, or to accomplish the purposes of the program or service. The library community recognizes that children and youth have the same rights to privacy as adults. Libraries whose record keeping systems reveal the names of users would be in violation of the confidentiality of library record laws adopted in many states. School library media specialists are advised to seek the advice of counsel if in doubt about whether their record keeping systems violate the specific laws in their states. Efforts must be made within the reasonable constraints of budgets and school management procedures to eliminate such records as soon as reasonably possible. With or without specific legislation, school
library media specialists are urged to respect the rights of children and youth
