The Bibb County School System selects instructional materials to implement, enrich, and support the educational program for its students. Materials must serve both the curriculum needs for and the interests of individual students. It is the responsibility of the district to provide for a wide range of abilities and to respect the diversity of many differing points of view. Material selection must be of the highest quality and appropriateness without influence of personal opinion or prejudice.
The main objective of our selection procedure is to provide our students with a wide range of educational materials on a variety of difficulty levels and formats, while allowing for diversity and differing points of view. The objective of the media center is to make available to faculty and students a collection of materials that will enrich and support the curriculum and meet the needs of the students and the faculty members being served.
Selection of materials involves many people, including administrators, supervisors, teachers, library media specialists, and students. However, the responsibility for coordinating and recommending the selection and purchase of library media materials rests with the certificated library media personnel. The Bibb County Board of Education shall delegate to the Superintendent of Schools the authority and responsibility for selection of all print and non-print materials. Responsibilities for actual selection shall rest with appropriate professionally trained personnel who shall discharge this obligation consistent with the Board’s adopted selection criteria and procedures. Selection procedures shall involve representatives of the professional staff directly affected by the selections, and persons qualified by preparation to aid in wise selection. The library media specialist will work cooperatively with staff members to interpret and guide the application of the policy in making day-to-day selections; however, final responsibility for selection of materials for the library media center lies with the media specialists.
Staff members involved in selection of resource materials shall use the following criteria as a guide:

weaknesses. The selection of learning resources on controversial issues will be directed towards maintaining a diverse collection representing various views. Learning resources shall clarify historical and contemporary forces by presenting and analyzing intergroup tension and conflict objectively, placing emphasis on recognizing and understanding social and economic problems. The following kinds of material will be selected for the media center:
V. Procedures for Selection of Learning Resources In selecting learning resources, professional personnel will evaluate available resources and curriculum needs and will consult reputable, professionally prepared aids to selection and other appropriate sources. The actual resource will be examined whenever possible. Recommendations for purchases involve administrators, teachers, students, district personnel and community stakeholders, as appropriate. Gift materials shall be judged by the criteria outlined and shall be accepted if they meet those criteria. Selection is an ongoing process which should include the removal of materials no longer appropriate, and the replacement of lost and worn materials still of educational value. Requests and suggestions for the purchase of instructional materials shall be gathered from staff to the greatest extent possible and students when appropriate. Page 3 of 5 FILE: IFDBA Reviews of proposed acquisitions will be sought in the literature of reputable professional organizations and other reviewing sources recognized for the objectivity and wide experience. Materials will be examined by professional staff to the extent necessary or practicable to apply criteria. Materials for media centers are selected by the professional media staff with due regard to suggestions from the faculty, parents, and students. Final selection is made by the media specialists of the school. Professionally recognized reviewing periodicals, standard catalogs, and other selection tools are used the by media specialists and the faculty to guide them in their selection. VI. Procedures for Challenged Materials The following procedure will be followed when material is challenged.
Procedure for Handling Complaints No duly selected challenged materials shall be removed from the school except upon the recommendation of a review committee (as provided below) with the concurrence of the Superintendent, or upon the Superintendent’s recommendation, the concurrence of the Board of Education, or upon formal action of the Board of Education when a recommendation of a review committee has been voted on and passed. All complaints to staff members shall be reported to the building principal involved, whether received by telephone, letter, email, or in personal conversation. The principal shall contact the complainant to discuss the complaint and attempt to resolve it informally by explaining the philosophy and goals of the school district and/or the library media center. If the complaint is not resolved informally, the complainant shall be given a Challenged Materials Form to be completed and returned before consideration will be given to the complaint. If the formal request for reconsideration has not been received by the principal within two weeks, it shall be considered closed. If the request is returned, the reasons for selection of the specific work shall be reestablished by the appropriate staff. In accordance with the statement of philosophy, no questioned materials shall be removed from the school pending a final decision. Pending the outcome of the request for reconsideration, however, access to questioned materials can be denied to the child (or children) of the parents making the complaint, if they so desire. Upon receipt of a completed objection form, the building principal involved will call together a committee of five to consider the complaint. The committee shall consist of the curriculum director and the building principal, library media specialist, a teacher, and a parent representative from the school involved. The committee shall meet to discuss the material, following the guidelines, and shall prepare a report containing their recommendations on the disposition of the matter. The principal shall notify the complainant of the decision and send a formal report and recommendation to the Superintendent. In answering the complainant, the principal shall explain the book selection process, give the guidelines used for selection, and cite authorities used in formulating selection decisions. Page 4 of 5 FILE: IFDBA If the committee decides to keep the work in question, the complainant shall be given an explanation. If the complaint is found to be valid, the principal will acknowledge it and make recommended changes. If the complainant is not satisfied with the committee’s decision, he/she may ask the Superintendent to present an appeal to the Board of Education which shall make a final determination on the issue.
