2. can be used effectively to support the delivery of District adopted curricula, or
3. can be considered material appropriate to include in the school library or media collection.

Instructional material gifts shall be determined to be appropriate by applying the same standards and using procedures similar to those regularly used in the selection of all other District instructional materials.

Gifts of political or religious materials shall be evaluated in the manner listed above and shall be limited to materials that are informational in nature or are considered generally to have enduring literary value.
