LPOSD drafts new learning materials policy
The new policy will be considered for approval by the Lake Pend Oreille School District board at its next meeting on Aug. 13.
In its first meeting since the enactment of Idaho House Bill 710, the Lake Pend Oreille School District board brought forth a draft of a new “learning materials review and reconsideration” policy.
District officials said the document will complement the existing “library materials policy” — which is being expanded by the board — and is intended to provide a comprehensive protocol for the evaluation of library and classroom media in schools.
The new policy is one of many taking shape across Idaho. Educational institutions are adjusting to the Children’s School and Library Protection Act, which was enacted July 1 and restricts minors’ access to “harmful” materials — namely, content containing depictions or descriptions of nudity or sexual behavior that are "offensive to prevailing standards."
