Parental Restriction of Individual Student Access

The librarian and the School Committee strive to have a library collection that all students and parents consider appropriate. Nevertheless, the District recognizes the right of parents under state law and District Policy 11IR-107 Recognizing Constitutional Freedoms in Public Schools, to restrict their child’s access to materials the parent deems inappropriate. However, parents do not have the right to make that determination on behalf of other parents and students.

A parent desiring to restrict their own child’s access to specific library materials shall submit the request in writing (or via email) to the Librarian at the school their child is currently attending. If the material is a required part of classroom curriculum activities, the parent must follow the procedures for waiver contained in 11IR-107 Section 14.

Library Information:

· Scheduling- The library schedule is set up in conjunction with the prep schedule, allowing teachers a block of time for grade level planning. This is done by the school administration. Students attend library once a week for 30 minutes. Classes missing library for Field Trips or Assemblies will not be rescheduled. However a quick book exchange time may be arranged by the classroom teacher with the media specialist.

· Circulation- Students are allowed to check out 1-3 books. Books are checked out for up to two weeks. Students are able to renew books they have not finished. There are no fines for overdue books.

· Lost or Damaged Books: As per district policy, payment is required if a student is responsible for the loss or damage of a book. The payment will be the cost of the book along with a two dollar processing fee. The school will not accept a copy of the lost book in exchange of payment. Payments are made online at mydsd.
