After the uproar it faced for banning the Bible, Davis School District has changed how it will handle future book challenges.
going forward:The district has decided to create what it’s calling a “specialized” review committee that will consist of seven members — a mix of parents and school staff — who serve for at least one school year.
If they find that a title does not contain a clear violation, committee members can dismiss the complaint or send it to a “standard” review committee. That group will decide whether access to it should be limited, based on the less strict standards of age appropriateness. That part of Davis’ policy was based on a model policy provided by the state, but Toone said the standard in it for “vulgarity or violence” was vague.
That language comes from the Utah Attorney General’s Office. “It will give clear guidance to committees,” Toone said.Rather than only having two options — to remove a book or retain it based on grade levels — the standard review committees will now have a third option for books that they see a value in, but also see some issues of concern.
Books sent to a standard committee will remain available, even if the committee suggests restrictions, until there’s been time for appeals to be filed and heard, under the new Davis policy.Davis came under fire previously when it removed the Bible from elementary and middle schools before the appeal process had been carried out.
If someone objects within that period, their appeal must be heard and voted on by the full Davis Board of Education before any action is taken with the book. The district said it intends for all appeals to be heard and processed within 60 days following the posting of a committee decision.Additionally, individuals in the community will be limited to two appeals per school year.
