Van Alstyne ISD adopts new school-library policy requiring public posting and parental controls
Summary
The board approved EFB (local), creating a 30-day public-posting window for school-library books, a parental opt-out to limit a child's access, and a notification feature for classroom-library checkouts; trustees voted 7–0 to adopt the policy.
Trustees approved a revision to policy EFB (local) that establishes a 30-day online posting window for books the district considers for its libraries; after that posting period, the board will vote on contested items. The policy enables parents to limit access to books for their own child through the district's online catalog, and it adds a feature to notify parents when classroom-library books are checked out; teachers are also asked to notify parents about classroom-library checkouts.
Trustee David Kerr moved to approve EFB (local) as recommended by the superintendent; the motion was seconded by Debbie Nance and passed 7'0'. The policy change clarifies the district's process for handling library materials and specifies parental controls and notification procedures.
