Sensitive Materials: Per the passing of HB29 by the Utah State Legislature, please see GSD policies that are in alignment with the sensitive materials legislation. Please see the slide deck below and the document linked below titled Sensitive Materials F.A.Q. with further clarification on questions that were asked by educators. 

Parental Rights: Please note that these policies should be in keeping with parental rights to academic accommodations and to alternate texts. Parents/guardians have the right to request an alternative text for their child(ren). However, if they request that a text be removed for all (i.e. removal from a library or for classroom instruction), they will need to follow the appropriate process (one is for library and the other is for appeal for instructional texts which is listed below). For information pertaining to library policy, please reach out to your school's library tech coach. 

In accordance with Administrative Rule R277-700-7(4) and Utah Code 53G-6-803 teachers must make reasonable accommodations if a student or parent objects to a particular text and establish an alternate way for students to demonstrate mastery in the identified standards.
