Read how 4th graders are denied Christian literature
click here Following is the form verbatim from San Luis Coastal
Unified School
District. There is NOT ONE legitimate reason to deny the Christian
literature I offered to pay for, and
they refuse to answer my letters asking for clarification.
Instruction 6163.1 (a)
School Libraries
Library Book and Media Selection Procedures
I. INTRODUCTION
The philosophy guiding the selection of library materials for the
San Luis Coastal Unified School District will be that of providing
the highest standard of a wide variety of books and media which
reflects the spirit of democracy, the dignity of human beings, and
the ideals and values of a pluralistic society. The goal of hte
school library/media program will be to promote knowledge by free
access to information, enrich life by adding meaning and pleasure
through recreational reading, develop a taste for quality in
literature and media, and instill an appreciation for our literary
heritage.
II. GUIDELINES
- Statement of Intent:
The San Luis Coastal Unified School District will provide a
wide range of library materials on all levels of difficulty, with
diversity of appeal, and the presentation of different points of
view and to allow review of allegedly inappropriate library
materials through established procedures.
- Objectives of Selection:
In order to assure that the school media program is an integral
part of the educational program of the school, the following
selection objectives are adopted:
* To provide materials that will enrich and support the
curriculum and personal needs of the users, taking into
consideration their varied interests, abilities, and learning
styles;
* To provide materials that will stimulate growth in factual
knowledge, literary appreciation, aesthetic values, and ethical
standards;
* To provide a background of information which will enable
pupils to make intelligent judgments in their daily lives;
* To provide materials which realistically represent our
pluralistic society and reflect the contributions made by these
groups and individuals to our American heritage;
* To place principle above personal opinion and reason above
prejudice in the selection of materials of the highest quality in
order to assure a comprehensive media collection appropriate for
the users.
- Responsibility for Selection:
* The responsibility for the selection of library materials is
delegated to the certificated library/media personnel.
While selection of materials involves many people, including
library/media specialists, teachers, students, administrators, and
community persons, the responsibility for coordinating and
recommending the selection and purchase of library materials rests
with the certificated library/media personnel.
- Criteria for Selection:
Educational goals of the School District, individual student
learning modes, teaching styles, curricula needs, faculty and
student needs, existing materials and networking arrangements should
be considered in developing the library collections. Guidelines for
the evaluation and selection of curricula resources are listed.
Curricula materials should:
* Be relevant to today's world;
* Represent artistic, historic, and literary qualities;
* Reflect problems, aspirations, attitudes and ideals of a
society;
* Contribute to the objectives of the instructional program;
* Be appropriate to the level of the user;
* Represent differing viewpoints on controversial subjects;
* Provide a stimulus to creativity;
Technical materials should:
* Be of acceptable technical quality; clear narration and
sound, synchronized pictures and sound;
* Be readable; typographyically (sic) well-balanced.
