6611.1 Supplementary Materials Selection and Adoption


The board recognizes that knowledge is changing and expanding and that it may be necessary to use various types of supplementary materials in addition to the basic and fundamental textbooks.

For the purpose of this policy, supplementary materials shall be defined as any instructional materials other than textbooks including but not limited to books, periodicals, newspapers, pictures, diagrams, maps, charts, slides, filmstrips, films, records, audio tapes, videotapes and computer programs.

The board believes that teachers and administrators should have a large role in selection and recommendation of supplementary materials. Teachers are encouraged to use a wide range of learning aids, provided the expense incurred in purchasing these aids remains within the limits of the budget.

All instructional resources and materials, including supplementary materials, shall be approved by the building principal and available for inspection by parents and guardians.
