-Book Request Form - Google Forms

[Notes from prior meeting]

Form was created by Ms. Noelle for teachers to fill in to add a book into the literature to ensure the book assignment is not otherwise against DEI school mission.

Training to teachers was discussed as an idea 

It was agreed that the form will be only required for purchases of novel sets 

An approval process was agreed upon for when an approval book form is submitted by a teacher

Process to Approve a Book Set once the Form is submitted

If Zoelle and Karen agree - then no board escalation

If they dont agree - then consult with Lori Chicano.

If we need a tie breaker - needs to take to the Board for approval
