TAR: reconsideration policy procedures

[Julia Colvin <juliacolvin@GWI.NET>]

Friends,

We just had a challenge of a video in my 3-5 school used to teach Human
Growth and Development i.e. (s*x ed).  The video was challenged by 2 sets of
parents who had seen the video at the parent preview night.   While they
both challenged the video, their reasoning, which they stated in their
Request for Reconsideration form, was different.  The Super appointed a
review committee, etc.  All the procedures were followed.

My question is, if you have 2 different challenges to the same material
simultaneously do you have individual committees/hearings to review the
request for consideration or can you "kill two birds with one stone" so to
speak?

We are going to be tweaking our policy after having been through the process
and I thought I'd ask for some input.
