Which activity most likely requires school board approval?

Adopting a district material selection policy is a crucial activity that aligns with the governance and operational standards set by the school board. This policy serves as a framework for how educational materials, including books, digital resources, and other instructional materials, are selected for use within the district. Given its significant impact on educational quality and access to resources for students, the establishment of such a policy typically requires thorough discussion and formal approval by the school board to ensure it meets district goals and educational standards.

In contrast, ordering from a particular vendor, weeding the collection, and creating a promotional multimedia display are generally operational decisions made at the school or library level. These activities are often guided by existing policies rather than requiring new policy development or approval at the board level. Thus, while they are important functions within the educational environment, they do not usually necessitate the level of oversight and approval that is required for adopting a district-wide material selection policy.
