Where the form lives (and doesn't)

It looks like it's not a simple matter of a single request in order to find the final resting place of each form. It really depends on the process. Because the Request for Reconsideration begins at the school level, the initial form lives with the principal and/or the school librarian, and will require at least a request to the school.

If the problem can't be resolved at the school-level, however, then an assistant superintendent forms a second committee of parents, teachers, and other concerned folks. So we might want to make an additional request to the Superintendent's office for each District. If that committee also can't resolve the problem, then the issue is brought before the School Board. This is the final step before outright legal warfare.

So we might need to do requests at three levels: the school, superintendent, and school board.

There is another complication. In addition to the formal requests for consideration, the schools have paper-less policies for handling frequently challenged classroom books at the student-level. This could include books that are challenged on religious grounds -- such as the Odyssey, because it's pagan -- and other classics of American Literature. The Springfield School District, for example, will replace Of Mice and Men with The Moon is Down if a parent challenges the first book on grounds of sexuality. They'll also replace Huck Finn if a parent requests it. These substitutions only affect the student. The rest of the class reads the original book.
