[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have just spent twenty minutes on the FCPS website trying to find out where to go if I wanted to challenge materials in the school.  I normally find things pretty quickly (although FCPS search engine leaves a lot to be desired.)

I now understand why the woman went to the School Board.  I have searched SB site--and I found the "policy."  However, the policy only sets the procedures--it does not tell where to find the review board.

I would like to know:

1.Who is on the review board.
2.How to submit a book or material.
3.Where to submit. 
4.What are the standards for rejecting a book.

I would also like to find the history of what books have been banned and why.

[i]"The complainant begins the formal challenge process by submitting the form
titled Fairfax County Public Schools Request for Reconsideration of Library or
Instructional Material to the principal. The principal determines whether the
challenge constitutes a parent or staff member challenge or a resident
challenge. If the principal is not responsible for the next level of review, the
principal refers the challenge to the appropriate department or committee and
notifies the complainant in writing. "[/i]

Here is the form:

You send it to the principal.
