6 mos ago, the 14 challenged books survived after review by a committee of community members & district staff & the Superintendent, in accordance with Policy 109.1.

Now, extensive proposed revisions to that same policy would give review of all classroom & library “materials” to the School Board. See the red-lined policy here: https://go.boarddocs.com/pa/prsd/Board.nsf/files/D98KZ6543F29/$file/Policy%20109.1%20Revision%20Draft.pdf

At the School Board meeting 4/8/24 at 7pm, we will hear the recommendations of the review committee & Superintendent. The final decision about whether the 14 books are removed will be determined by the School Board directors.
Plan to attend this important meeting. 📚

Join us Monday 11/13 at 6pm for a celebration of books before the school board meeting —
