I recently had a book challenge. Our librarians are asking to update the 1999 policy and make it accessible and known. Julie Yulo-Madeiros sent me this information. You may want to add any new resources here to the CASL site. 

>From Julie:

I’m sure I’m not sharing anything new but here are a few links to help you build a reconsideration/challenge policy for your district. Scroll down (in the first link) a little to the section labeled New Jersey Association of School Libraries. They have a few links that are very helpful. Especially the Book Challenge Handbook (second link listed below).
