Gen: Selection/Weeding

[Linda Brake <LBrake@EGREEN.WEDNET.EDU>]

I am posting a selection/weeding question for the Evergreen school district
(30 schools) in Vancouver Washington. The district has a materials
selection and a weeding policy.  Neither policy directly addresses the
issue of how to remove books already on the shelf which the Media
Specialist thinks are not at an appropriate maturity level.  Some in the
district think this should be a selection issue and books in question
should go through the challenge process.  Others think this is a weeding
issue and that the specialist should be able to remove books.  What we
would like is selection or weeding policy language which deals with this.
Send responses direction to me and I will summarize for the whole group.
