Instruction

Reading Assignments and Other Instructional Material

Student reading assignments and other instructional material shall be selected with regard to a student’s maturity and capacity to understand the material.

Book selection and instructional material cannot isolate students from reality, and it shall be recognized that even with judicious selection he/she will be exposed to books and other instructional material which portray less desirable aspects of life.

However, no student shall be required to read material which he/she or his/her parents/guardians find distasteful for any ethical or religious reasons.
