What is the district’s policy regarding Library classes? Why do some schools have a scheduled library class for each grade level, but others don’t?
RISD’s policy is that all library time be flexibly scheduled, and able to shift as needed to accommodate student research. Typically, grades K-1, and sometimes grade 2, are scheduled for story time and book checkout on a regular basis, with grades 2-6 scheduled regularly, but not always consistently, as needed. At any given school, you should be able to examine the library schedule and see all classes in all grade levels coming to the library for a variety of needs at various times, with information-literacy instruction, project-based learning, reading promotion, story time, and book checkout being the primary functions. In addition, teachers should feel comfortable sending small groups of students to the library during the day for either book checkout or research activities. Transfer from low performing school 13. Under Section 29.202 of the Texas Education Code, students assigned to a campus which has been rated as “low-performing” during any of the preceding three years are eligible
