Board member requests review after mature‑rated book found in middle school materials
Summary
A board member asked the administration for a prompt review and an agenda item to examine a recent middle‑school English book purchase that carried a mature label; the member requested the full English list of 19 books be provided and follow‑up be scheduled quickly.
A board member reported an incident at Monroe Middle School involving an English classroom book that, the member said, carried a mature label and prompted concern about whether books intended for adults could have entered the curriculum. The member asked administration for a quick follow‑up and requested the English department's list of 19 books be placed on a future agenda for review.
"Because if one book got there, I don't know where to go with that," the board member said, urging a timely review and additional documentation. The superintendent and staff acknowledged the request and said they would follow up; the transcript records the board member pressing for that review sooner rather than later.
