White Oak ISD Board narrows approved library purchases, excludes nine titles
Summary
The White Oak ISD Board approved a district library book purchase list but revisited the vote after closed session and unanimously excluded nine specified titles from purchases.
The White Oak Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the district's list of library books but later revisited the vote and unanimously excluded nine titles from the approved purchases.
"I move to approve the list of library books for White Oak Independent School District, excluding the list provided," Secretary Stephanie McKinney said when she moved the motion, which Jessica Hughes seconded. The initial motion passed with a recorded tally of Yea: 7, Nay: 0. The board deferred the final exclusions until after Closed Session and, upon reconvening, voted at 6:00–6:01 to exclude specific titles.
The titles the board voted to exclude are: Arcana; The Lost Heirs; A Bite of Pepper; Carving Shadows into Gold; The Darkness Within Us; The Deep Dark; See You Yesterday; A Study in Drowning; and A Theory of Dreaming. The minutes record the board's unanimous decision to exclude those items from the purchase list.
Board members did not record additional public debate in the provided segments; the vote to finalize the exclusions was taken after the meeting's Closed Session. The district did not specify funding changes tied to the exclusions in the recorded minutes. The decision is reflected in the approved minutes for the Dec. 8 meeting and will govern purchases associated with the listed library order.
