Code: IIABB
Adopted: 9/11/06
Use of Feature Films/Videos
The Board recognizes the showing of commercially produced and rated feature films and videos may have a legitimate purpose in a school’s educational program. Since the content of these feature films customarily is designed for general audience viewing, the Board feels certain precautions should be taken to ensure the showing of a particular film is consistent with the educational values espoused by the district. Films rated G, PG, PG-13 or R may be shown as part of the school program. The Board directs procedures be developed to accomplish this objective, including the provision that a parent has the opportunity to preview a film when practicably possible and that a parent must give prior consent before his/her student may view a film rated PG, PG-13 or R.
