From the Appleton Area School District: September 2, 2020 In Wisconsin, it is the role of the local school board to establish written policies, procedures, and rules for the operation of the schools within the District, to adopt textbooks, and to provide adequate materials and texts which reflect the cultural diversity and pluralistic nature of the American society. The Board of Education, as the governing body of the District, is legally responsible for all educational materials utilized within the instructional program of the Appleton Area School District.

This committee is composed of citizens, parents, professional staff members and students. The task of the Committees is to review the material in question and provide written recommendation(s) to the Superintendent of School regarding its continued use in the District.
