DRAFT Alvarado ISD Resource Reconsideration


Begin at your scholar’s school campus

If you have a question about a campus library book, please reach out to your scholar’s campus. An attempt will be made at the campus level to informally resolve the issue. If not satisfied with the campus resolution, a formal request must be submitted on the Request for Reconsideration of an Instructional Resource form available online. Upon receipt of the form, the Director of Literacy shall appoint a reconsideration committee and notify the campus administrator of the request. The requester will also be notified of the receipt of the request.

The Reconsideration Committee of five members may include:


The principal, teacher(s), or librarian involved with the reconsideration shall not be a review committee member.


What is the process for the reconsideration of a resource?


The Reconsideration Committee will review the material as soon as possible. Members may share copies of the book and will read the book in its entirety before passing on to the next member. Please note that some requests may take four to eight weeks to complete. The review committee members will take the following steps after receiving the Reconsideration Request.

The committee must meet either face-to-face or virtually to vote.

The committee must discuss and decide on one of the following courses of action:

The committee’s written decision shall be presented to the requestor, district librarian, the Superintendent, and board of trustees.

Any resource that has gone through the reconsideration process and remains in the collection, a school district may not be required to reconsider the item within two calendar years of the final decision.
