IL standards for schools

An example of local Information literacy standards for schools (US grade K8) is a document currently up for consultation by parents and the community of Community Consolidated School District 181 (which is "located about 20 miles west of Chicago", USA). There are separate standards listed for Kindergarten and each grade from 1st to 8th. "Community input is welcome and will be reviewed before the final curriculum document is brought to the Board of Education for approval on August 22." The actual document with standards for consultation is at http://www.d181.org/data/files/news/District181News/Standards_and_Comment_Form.pdf and the announcement about it is at http://burrridge.patch.com/articles/new-district-181-information-literacy-standards-on-public-display-2
