The School Board encourages teachers to use supplementary instructional materials which are relevant to curriculum objectives and appropriate for students' ages and abilities. By using such materials, teachers can introduce content and instructional strategies that enrich the curriculum, enhance learning, help students make critical judgments, and stimulate their intellectual growth.
When selecting supplementary materials for classroom use, teachers should carefully review the materials and provide appropriate introductory and follow-up activities. Such materials shall be aligned with district goals, curriculum objectives, and academic standards and shall supplement and not supplant the use of Board-adopted instructional materials that serve as the primary learning resources.

Supplementary instructional materials shall be directly related to the course of study in which they are being used and shall be appropriate for the age and maturity level of the students.

As appropriate, supplementary instructional materials shall meet the criteria developed for the selection and evaluation of basic instructional materials as described in AR 6161.1 Selection of Instructional Materials.

Supplementary instructional materials may be selected and/or approved by the Superintendent or designee, or school administrators, as applicable, and obtained through donations to the district and/or available funding sources designated for these purposes. The use or reproduction of supplementary instructional materials shall be in accordance with federal copyright law.
