Sonora ISD approves library purchase list under SB13 after 30‑day posting
Summary
Secondary librarian told the board the district posted the proposed library purchases for 30 days as required under SB13; the board approved the SB13 district libraries collection purchase proposal unanimously. The procedure follows a new state law requiring public posting and board approval of certain library materials.
Lindsey Geske, the district's secondary librarian, explained a new state requirement (referred to in the meeting as "SB13") that requires districts to post a list of books proposed for purchase and give trustees an opportunity to approve the list after a 30‑day posting on the district website. Geske said she posted the list for the required period before bringing the proposal to the board.
Trustee Cynthia Perez moved to approve the district libraries collection purchase proposal under SB13; Trustee John Jones seconded the motion. The board approved the proposal unanimously. The board did not record any requests to pull individual titles from the proposed list during the meeting.
