Claude ISD Adopts Library Review Procedures, Parental Access to Comply With Texas SB 13
Summary
Trustees adopted EFB (Local) and FM (Local) provisions to meet SB 13 requirements, authorizing administrative review of new library/instructional materials and parental electronic access to the district library catalog; motion by Trustee Cole Cleveland passed unanimously.
Trustee Cole Cleveland moved that the board affirm compliance with Policy EFB (Local) and the requirements of Texas Senate Bill 13 by: approving administrative review of new library and instructional material purchases for age-appropriateness and educational value; ensuring parents have direct electronic access to the district's library catalog and notice of newly acquired books; and establishing procedures for reconsideration and an annual report to the board. Trustee Hayden Hook seconded the motion, which passed with six yeas and one absence.
The motion also adopted provisions of Policy FM (Local) regarding student participation and absenteeism for extracurricular activities. The board authorized the superintendent to implement administrative regulations to carry out the requirements and to provide annual reporting; the transcript records the motion language and the unanimous vote but does not include implementation timelines or staffing details.
