All materials will be provided to committee members at least 30 days prior to the review of a book. Committee members will serve a one-year term.
CCPS invites all community members and parents residing in Calvert County to consider serving on these committees. Each committee will include administrators, teachers, librarians, students, parents, community members and will convene as needed.
At least one (1) parent/guardian and one (1) community member will be randomly selected to serve on each committee. Official notifications will be sent to selected members by September 20. If additional committees are needed, members will be randomly selected from the original applicant pool.
