Members of the Hempfield School Board and Parents once again discussed proposed policies concerning book challenges and bans.
The Trib reports that on Monday night, several residents talked about the proposed policy during the school board meeting The new rules would make lists of books that librarians intend to purchase visible to the public for 30 days before they officially are acquired. Hempfield residents would be able to “express concern with a title listed for purchase” by submitting a form, which the librarian, building principal, subject area teacher and assistant superintendent would review.
The revisions are the latest phase of a policy conflict that has continued at Hempfield for more than a year and a half about the appropriateness of books and other resource materials in the district’s libraries.
The final vote on the policy changes comes later this month.
