Public Concerns/Complaints about Instructional Resources

Greeley-Evans School District 6 recognizes that some materials, even if they have educational merit, may not be suitable for inclusion in the instructional program of the school or in the library. Criticism of a book or other materials available in schools may be expected from time to time. In such instances, the district has developed the following procedures outlined in Board Policy KEC to address public concerns/complaints about instructional materials.

An individual parent/guardian has the right to request that his/her child not read a given book. When such a request is presented, the teacher and/or school administrator should resolve the situation, perhaps by arranging for use of alternative materials meeting essentially the same instructional purpose. This does not apply, however, to basic program texts and materials that the Board has adopted. For further information, please review the full board policy linked below.

Public Concerns and Complaints Regarding Teaching Methods or Activities

If there are concerns regarding a teaching method or activity being utilized in a classroom, it is recommended to take the concern to the building teachers and/or administrators to address. After this discussion with the teacher and/or administrator, additional steps to address the concern are outlined in Board Policy KEF.
