Agenda Item 14.

Title
APPROVAL TO REPEAL SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 4.21-TEXTBOOK ADOPTION

Description
Approval of request to repeal Board Policy 4.21 -Textbook Adoption and remove it permanently from Board Policies.

Gap Analysis
Policy 4.21 -Textbook Adoption is now covered more thoroughly in recently revised Board Policies 4.20 - Instructional Materials Evaluation, Selection, and Objection to Use, 4.22 - Library Media Center Materials Evaluation, Selection, and Objection to Use, and 4.23 - Return or Sale of Textbooks. Continuing to publish this rule causes confusion on which policy is adhered to.

Previous Outcomes 
Policy 4.21 - Textbook Adoption was previously adopted by the Board and revised as recently as 2022.

Expected Outcomes 
Upon approval to repeal, this policy will be removed from our list of policies to avoid confusion with similar updated policies.

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 5 - Every Community Engaged

Priority 1 - Deliver Effective Communication & Marketing


Recommendation
That the repeal of Policy 4.21 -Textbook Adoption be approved as presented.
