Dear colleagues,We LMSs in East Windsor are recommending changes to our BOE collection and challenged book policies, and have a couple questions.1. What is your district's time line for gathering copies of a book being challenged, and having a reconsideration committee read the book? We suggested 4 weeks, because we felt it would take time to gather copies from other libraries, particularly if the book is in high demand. But we wonder if 6 weeks is better.2. In this document, posted by Martha Hickson, https://drive.google.com/file/d/12KL1PsNJmAStpq7FuM2LpdE-eUS6SNBg/view?pli=1there is a wonderful list of NJ state instructional regulations, that book challengers need to explain why the questioned book does not meet.I'd like to find such a list for CT. Has anyone done this?Thank you for your thoughts,Elaine Shapiro, East Windsor Public Schools
