Summary

Trustees approved library material purchases in compliance with SB13 but removed two titles — The Giver and Under the Same Stars, A Novel — and instructed that supporting research and a board brief be published as exhibits.

The Lorena ISD Board voted Feb. 23 to approve listed library materials in compliance with Senate Bill 13, with the exception of two titles removed from the purchase list.

Trustee Russ Johnson moved to approve the purchases and Trustee Tyler Stewart seconded; the motion passed unanimously, 7–0. The motion specifically removed The Giver and Under the Same Stars, A Novel from the purchase list and directed that the research spreadsheet and board brief be made available as an exhibit to the decision.

The transcript records the decision but does not include the complete purchase list or the research spreadsheet; Library Services was assigned to publish the exhibit for public record.
