I'm a new Library Media Director at a high school and my principal has asked
me to research how other high schools deal with Rated R videos.  Last year
numerous teachers showed Rated R movies in their classrooms and it caused
concern among other teachers and parents.  Do any schools have policies with
videos?

I have also been asked to purchase Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and
Shakespeare in Love (which are all great movies) but are all Rated R.  I
refuse to do this until we have established some kind of policy to cover
myself and my students.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
AnnMarie
