The board heard Sept. 4 that Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD's proposed library acquisitions have been posted for the required public notice period and that the district will notify families via ParentSquare so parents can review titles and submit comments under processes the presenter said will comply with Senate Bill 13.

Miss Nedovitz, district library media staff member, explained that the board's consent agenda included a renewal of the library vendors RFP and that the actual book acquisition list will appear on the consent agenda next month. "The list is already public because it has to be public for 30 days before we can even purchase," she said, and added that the district has published the list on the Library Media Services page and distributed a summary and SB 13 requirements for board review.

Board members asked how parents can provide input. Nedovitz said an online comment form accompanies the 30‑day listing and staff will follow up with parents who submit concerns to determine whether a title will remain on the list or be pulled for additional review. "There is online, with the 30 day posting, there is also a form where parents can send in and give comments or concerns about any type of book," she said.

Trustees also asked about a parental opt‑out process that allows a parent to prevent a specific child from checking out a title without removing it districtwide. Nedovitz said the district's vendor has a Guardian account function that allows parents to set a checkout block for their child; the parent must create the account and set the preference. "They can see what the children have checked out now...They can put on there if they want a particular book they don't want their child to check out," she said.

The presenter said the district will send an extra ParentSquare notice because the initial vendor notification went out around Labor Day and the district does not want families to miss the 30‑day review window. No board vote was required; administrators will return with the acquisition list and related SB 13 materials on next month's consent agenda.
