Committee Purpose

The Instructional Materials Reconsideration Committee addresses formal requests for reconsideration of library and instructional materials in the Clear Creek Amana Community School District. The committee provides a context in which differences of opinion and possible selection errors may be examined openly. The main task of the committee is to make a recommendation to the Superintendent when a citizen makes a written complaint against a library book, classroom material, or other instructional resource.  District policy, regulations and procedures are considered when studying the challenged materials.

The committee forwards their decision to the Superintendent who, in turn, makes the final decision. Complaints are considered and acted upon within thirty school days of receipt.  All meetings are open to the public.

One teacher-librarian designated annually by the superintendent.
One member of the administrative team designated annually by the superintendent.
Three members of the community appointed annually, as needed, by the board.
