Objectionable Materials. The Washington Elementary School District respects the rights of parents to make decisions regarding the literature their children read. Therefore, if, at any time, parents have a concern and wish to request that their child(ren) not read a specific selection, parents should place that request in writing and submit it to their child(xxx)’s classroom teacher and/or library staff, and the request will be honored. Whenever a complaint is made directly to the Governing Board as a whole or to a Governing Board member as an individual, it shall be referred to the Superintendent for investigation according to Board Policy. The administration will develop a procedure for courteously receiving complaints and will take steps to make proper replies to complaints. If resolution of a problem cannot be accomplished at the building level, either party may refer the matter to the Superintendent for review. The Governing Board will consider hearing citizen complaints when they have not been resolved by the administration. Matters referred to the Governing Board as a whole must be in writing, should clearly identify the problem and specifically state the desired action. The Governing Board will not consider or act on complaints that have not been explored at the appropriate administrative level.
