Parents press book challenges and union reports 98% ratification at Davis board public comment
Summary
A parent urged the board to address allegedly pornographic materials and criticized district challenge procedures; the Davis Education Association reported a 98% ratification of the negotiated agreement.
During the public-comment period, a parent and a union representative addressed the board on separate topics.
Sarah Johnson, speaking for herself and identifying that she has four children in the district, told the board she had challenged a book she considers pornographic and said the district denied her challenge at multiple levels. She asked the board to address "broken procedures" she believes allow such material in district facilities and referenced state statutes cited in recent AG guidance.
Denise Wilmore, speaking on behalf of the Davis Education Association, reported that 98% of association members voted in favor of this year's negotiated agreement and thanked the board for its collaboration during difficult years for educators.
Board members accepted the comments and noted the public-comment rules. No board action on the specific challenged title was taken at the meeting.
