Nearly two months after Conroe ISD board members declined to reverse the removal of 19 titles from classroom library shelves, trustees reevaluated the district’s instructional and library materials policies and procedures on Tuesday night.
AP English teacher Theresa Neman quoted author Ray Bradbury, describing the small party behind the district's book removals as the"minor minor minority."
Null recommended several procedural ways the board could implement this practice, such as having a community member donate an Amazon gift card to a student, having a student go to the Montgomery County Library or using a text from a former student. Chase piggy-backed off Wagaman’s proposal to suggest changes to the district’s instructional and library materials policies. Fellow board members agreed that she would “red-line” or write her recommended revisions with Conroe ISD General Counsel Carrie Galatas’s assistance and then submit them to the board for consideration.
“Please don’t continue to limit the rights of our students because a handful of individuals cannot stand that our values might not be their exact values,” she said. “Please return our book policies and our district back to reasonableness.”
