Committee votes to hold future Reconsideration Committee meetings virtually
Summary
Members voted to move future meetings to a virtual format, with staff to send dates and links; staff noted in-person hearings may still be required if a book challenge requires extended discussion.
The Chair moved to make future committee meetings virtual and the motion passed by voice vote after members voiced their support. The Staff member said a district lawyer confirmed virtual meetings are permissible provided they are recorded.
The Staff member said she will email meeting dates and links once scheduled and clarified a caveat: if a challenge to a title requires an extended review or hearing, the committee may need to meet in person. "Because again, as a reminder, we are the reconsideration committee," she said, noting in-person sessions could be necessary for longer challenges.
