Procedure for Examination of School Library Material
This information reflects Polk County School’s 2022-2023 challenge process. To reflect and be in compliance with 2023-2024 FL Statutes this information is in revision and as of July 1 all current statutes are applicable.
This state’s policy for the selection of school library materials states that any parent, guardian, student with parental consent, community member, or employee of the district may formally challenge library materials used in the district’s educational program. This policy further allows those persons in the school or the school community, who are not directly involved in the selection of library materials to make their opinions known. The focus of the examination procedure is to provide an open forum for making an informed decision.
