Troup ISD adopts TASB-recommended library materials policy EFB(LOCAL) to meet new state requirements
Summary
To comply with new legislative requirements, the board approved TASB-recommended policy EFB(LOCAL) and district procedures requiring campus and district-level verification before books can be recommended for purchase; the motion passed 7-0.
Superintendent Jones explained the district's response to legislative changes requiring policies and parent notification related to the purchase of library materials. The district established a verification system and standards; a checklist must receive campus- and district-level approval before books are recommended to the board. Ty Lindsey moved to approve the TASB-recommended addition of policy EFB(LOCAL) and the related procedures and guidelines; Jake Howard seconded, and the board approved the motion 7-0.
The board's action implements a multi-step review process the district says will govern library-material purchases and parent notification required by recent legislation. The posted minutes identify the policy by its TASB reference, EFB(LOCAL); the board approved the policy and procedures as presented in the packet.
