FAQs, Details, and Points to Note
-
Does the school board need to actually approve the library plan, or can this just be a discussion or report item? As stated on the Date of Board Approval data element page, the DPI’s review process includes confirming, through reviewing board minutes, that the library plan was approved by the school board. Board minutes reflecting this process will be requested if they are not publicly available online. Lack of evidence on this approval can result in a District Library Plan’s approval being delayed. The plan will be marked as “Returned” to the LEA, and the Active status will remain as “N (No)” until school board approval can be confirmed.
