001e e e call this meeting to order you roll call please Miss Donna yes Miss Miller Miss Williams yes here Mr Moore here Mr Garing president M Chesney here miss Lanny here I'll stand for the Pledge of Allegiance please I pledge alance to the flag of the United States of America and to the rep for it stands one nation God indivisible withy and jce for and we have audience [Music] participation Brent Cory hello my name is Brent Cory I'm the librarian of La at high school and I'd like to speak on behalf of This Book Is anti-racist by Tiffany one of the challenge titles I have on the Shelf as a librarian I firmly believe that all books as reviewed and deemed appropriate for students at the grade levels in which I work have earned
002their space on the Shelf to teach entertain or even change the reader life I believe that all students have the right to read books of their choice unless I'm told otherwise by their parent or guardian and I will happily work with them on that I do not believe that this book is one that needs to be removed or restricted to all students we all have blind spots it's important to recognize them and educate ourselves and to examine our biases some books are written to challenge our worldview and preconceived notions and encourage us to imagine a life outside of our own and what it would be like to walk a mile in another shoes this book is one of them I grew up in a predominantly white town and could have used a book like this
003growing up because despite my best efforts I'm sure I made have must have made some mistakes and microaggressions towards people of color at some point in growing up and I think that's the point of a book like this though you know we're all only human we're going to make mistakes but a book like this helps us to learn from mistakes and grow because that's where true change comes from we should always strive to improve while understanding that learning and growth is uncomfortable just ask your kid how much they like homework we cannot be sedentary when it comes to gaining knowledge and there's no C off day to our education strive to learn something new every day I'm try toell that to all students in my library you know sharks say moving for a reason in
004your mind show as well a book such as this should be read widely because it never hurts to learn more about those around us the only guarantee we have in life is change it's constant and that said we should always be on the search for knowledge about ourselves our friends and neighbors and therefore I believe this book belongs on the shter in our middle and high school libraries and ultimately it's okay to not like a book it's okay to disagree but importantly without Spite and vital I don't believe it's okay to step over high school students and their parents or Guardians rights to read what they want with that said as a professional librarian credential in two states I stand by the reviews this book that is for a middle and high school audience that
005it belongs in a sh for all students in those buildings if you disagree that's more than okay but just let me do my job parents Guardians I ask that you do yours and tell me directly if you don't want your student reading it it's not okay to say that all students must lose access to any library book and that powers with parents and Guardians if you don't want your student to read a book just tell me it's as simple as that I'm a professional I take pride my work selecting age appropriate materials but I will always defer to parents or Guardians for their specific student I take what I do for a living seriously I don't take for granted that it's my job to provide access to books from Myriad perspectives to our students I
006strive to make an accessible welcoming space for all students and staff I Endeavor to build a collection that represents all of our students I maintain high standards and research titles to make sure they're appropriate for high school age students before purchasing them I've worked with parents when they've had questions about books their children have checked out and I must say that nearly 15 years I've spent working in elementary and secondary libraries that I've always welcomed productive conversations with parents regarding reading material I love what I do and all I ask is they let me do it without fear of invective or reprisal before I finish you know I beseech everyone to keep in mind the motto of our nation you we Appo was UNAM out of many one and it's not our differences that should
007Define us or surar US but that they should be celebrated and praised as in this book because we try hard enough out of many I believe thank [Applause] you thank you Mr Cory cind pinion um hi I'm Sydney from The Forbidden book club uh and so I was going to speak in regards to Crank by Ellen Hopkins which coincidentally happened to be the book that we read last month I actually first read crank when I checked it out from the school library when I myself was a student at Central High School um you may or may not know crank is based off of Ellen Hopkins own daughter and her struggles with addiction to crystal meth and how her choices as a teenager led her down a path that would forever change her life it is
008a cautionary tale that gives us a realistic depiction of how even the brightest students with the most promising Futures who whose parents would never dream that they'd give to peer pressure can do just that when they strugg struggling to navigate relationships and find their place in the world while the book does obviously reference substance abuse and some of the cruel violent and tragic things that can happen and can occur as a result of struggling with addiction I can say as someone who read this book as both a teenager and an adult that it does so in a way that is appropriate for high school students and as much as we'd all love to shelter them from the harsh realities of the world there are already teenagers who are struggling with addiction in 2019 approximately 10
009,400 Missouri children aged 12 to 17 reported using methamphetamine in her book Ellen references crank as sorry refers to crank as the monster and if you've ever had the displeasure of loving someone who has struggled with an addiction to meth you know exactly why if there's anyone listening right now whose life has been touched by the monster I hope you know that your voices and your stories matter and regardless of how any of us feel about this book I think we'd all agree that our town has an issue with drug use and overdose this books help students who are already struggling with substance abuse or may come from homes with addicts better navigate those situations and seek help I hope that you'll all retain uh Crank by Ellen Hopkins as well as this book is
010anti-racist by Tiffany juel with no restrictions as to not deny students tools to navigate things that they're facing in their real lives thank [Applause] you thank you Miss opinion Diane Stanley hello I'm here to discuss this book is anti-racist um I worked in the school libraries for uh seven and a half years I was at humbl and then I was at Jean field this book teaches only that you see people by their color not by who they are when those kindergarteners would come in the first time to the library they had their best friends they were not white or black they were their friends they were their friends because they liked them they liked who they were they liked U everything about them the boys were tussling you know how boys do and the girls
011would sit and hug each other and and but this would last for years we would have had to tell them that they are not uh supposed to do that because that person's racist so um and when I would pick out books here's what I did I said would this book make their lives better would it make them better students Kinder students uh succeed more better employees better employers uh have better marriages family lives better parents or would they make them better human beings this book does nothing but cause people she wants to be an activist she's even making up words what are we doing trying to tell our children that you are you think you're better than I am and you're not they don't want to know they don't want they want to be friends
012with who they want want to be and it in this book you cannot not be racist so you if you're white you're racist if you're black you're racist if you're Asia Asian you're racist that's not what we should be teaching our children we should be teaching them love one another and if if I don't like you it's because there's something about you I don't like but I to tell them that they don't like you because your skin color that's crazy I cannot imagine that any person would think this would be a healthy situation for a school it's not our business to teach children to be to decide on race it's not if you don't like me don't like me but don't like me because I'm white and don't like me because I'm successful it's because
013I worked hard but I did not have any more privilege than anybody else in this room and it seems to me this lady did she uh is well educated as you can tell when you read she thank [Applause] you Juniper Brown hello um I want to go on record as as saying that I'm I'm not sure everybody understands uh what curriculum and availability are and those are two completely different things but I would actually like to cover uh the higher ordered constitutional Provisions from island tree VPO which is the latest Supreme Court precedent on this from 1982 the Board of Education and this might sounds Vaguely Familiar the Board of Education Act contrary to the recommendations of a committee of parents and School staff ordered that certain books be removed from its District's Junior High
014and high school libraries in support of its actions the board said such books were quote anti-American anti-christian anti-semitic and just plain filthy end quote Pico brought suit and federal court and challenged the board's decision to remove the books the board won the US court of appeals for the second circuit reversed the board petitioners the board petition the US Supreme Court which granted cers uh which granted cers question question did the board of education's decision to ban certain books from its Junior High and high school libraries based on their content violate the first amendment's freedom of speech protections quote while petitioners might rightfully claim absolute discretion in matters of Curriculum by Reliance upon their duty to inculcate Community Values and schools petitioners Reliance upon that duty is misplaced where they attempt to extend their claim of
015absolute discretion beyond the compulsory environment of the classroom of the school library and the regime of voluntary inquiry that there hold sway the conclusions that came from Pico because it actually got remanded back to a lower court because it it had plurality not not uh it wasn't a binding decision on a matter of material issue of fact all the justices were able to communicate that it that there was precedent behind this and that the books should have stayed in the library when it went back to the school districts over the summer 1,200 parents petitioned the board to end the fight and return the books to the shelves shortly after the from The New York Times 1983 shortly after the Supreme Court's decision the school board voted to reinstate the band books on the condition that
016any student checking went out had to take home a parental warning however the New York attorney general held that such an action broke the law protecting the confidentiality of Library records in early 1983 the board narrowly voted to return the books to the school libraries that's from Britannica even the four members who voted for the settlement did so begrudgingly quote it was proper to remove the books but we've spent too much time on this it's time to put us uh to put behind us and devot ourselves to educational issues again from the New York Times my takeaways from this case rather than being a guarantee rooted within a substantive interpretation of either due process clause as with the case of roie Wade and the right to privacy the American Liberty of free speech is expressed
017directly by written word rather than its interpretation this guarantee has stood its constitutional test over many J Generations both Progressive and conservative courts alike in Tinker D in Tinker V de Mo it was written it can hardly be argued that either students or teachers of their constitutional rights to Freedom or expression at the schoolhouse gate that was in 1969 in 1943 West Virginia uh State Board of Education V [Applause] Barnett um prior to the approval of the agenda I would like to make an amendment number four list items under discussion and I would like to change the title to action items because we are taking votes and actually doing action and so if you guys could amend that and then I will take a motion to amend the agenda as presented so mve thank you
018have a motion in a second Whitney second yes and would you call the vote please yes Miss Miller yes Miss Williams yes Miss chzn yes Mr Garing yes Miss Lanning yes Mr Moore yes thank you and the motion passes six to zero um also for complete transparency assar gcia is not able to make it she was not able to leave work she'll be able to join us at the work session okay book review number one this book is anti-racist Dr mcginness could you start us off I'm sure you got sheet at your workstation so this will help guide you for our discussion today and I'm just going to present you with the facts so we'll start with that first book this book is anti-ra that book was challenged on May 28th we had one challenge
019uh challenge form for that book the committee met and the decision was made on July 29th to retain the book with no restrictions we had nine committee members of those nine committee members seven chose to retain the book with no restrictions two members chose to retain the book with restrictions of those two one suggested High School only and the other stated parent permission for elementary just as a friendly reminder this book is only at Secondary School specifically at Lafayette rubido and Truman the committee decision was appealed on July 30th 2024 and then if I can bring your attention down to the checkout history so you can see that for this book is anti-racist was at those three schools in the last five years it's been checked out four times and that's the facts I have
020to get to you today um Dr meginness I just have one question really quick yes ma'am um and maybe it's in the information only I haven't looked at this information could you give a brief um like a couple sentence about the request for reconsideration of this book give me a minute go to board docs here and this is available on our website if anybody in the public would like to see that and all of the forms are on there as well is it on the back is this what this is on the back of the okay okay I'm not sure what you're looking at there looking at the back of this uhuh okay well on the front of that form it says specifically what the challenge was for from each person M and but I'll
021pull it up here this one only received just the one challenge just the one form so you may have it quicker than I do l okay it just said c attached excerpt and then it just quotes um this book is anti-racist it's a manual on social justice justice activism geared toward children as young as 10 has been criticized as unsuitable for minors in districts around the country um do you me to continue yeah you guys should have that at your workstations and it's online as well do you guys need a minute to look over the material okay for this should after you guys are ready if you could just let me know are youing are you stilling are you still looking at the material okay okay let's discuss um as in the last meeting and
022then in the email I sent I reminded everybody about the procedures of the last meeting of this meeting and such and so um each member of the board if he choose to we'll have a couple of minutes in order um to make a statement or a comment if there are no questions after that then we'll vote okay Miss Kim would you like to make a comment a statement anything I would okay first of all I'd like to say that we're not about banning books it's just about getting restrictions put on there in parental permission we as adults are presuming our pre-teens and teenagers think like we do in fact the rational part of the Adolescent brain isn't fully developed until the mid 20s however adolescence is a time of significant growth and development Recent research
023has found that adult and teen brains obviously work differently adults think with the prefrontal cortex that's the rational part of the brain it responds to situations hopefully with good judgment and an awareness of consequences the back of the brain where the Adolescent typically thinks from is the amigdala this is where um It's associated with the emotions impulse aggression and instinctive Behavior so because this brain is maturing the maturation process begins in the back and ends in the front where cognition is honed and refined these changes have continue into early adulthood so our adolescents whose prefrontal cortex is not fully developed they choose high-risk activities they express more and stronger emotions and make those impulsive decisions in in teens's brains the connection between the emotional part and the decision-making Center are still developing and not necessarily
024at the same time they work differently they're designed differently which defines an adult from an adolescent so that gives um an adult a different kind of perspective when looking at this material so when an adolescent looks at it he may not understand the value always of the information he's reading or appreciate its its uh incursion into their lives into their social lives and into uh the choices they make so if that's the case it makes some of these books this one in particular difficult and it may presume that they'll think uh if you're white you you are uh you are aggressive the world's about you everything is is on you to be good you're the highlight of of their world where all people of color are less than you according to this book so even
025if they don't know someone who is not of a darker color uh they may uh report issue so if you're white this book wants to suppress you or call you bigot or homophobe or those kind of things just because you are a person of of non color or less color than others and I think that's tough on our adolescents who are just developing those thinking processes that critical thinking Behavior so I think it's it's tough to presume that when you keep a ledger of all the wrongs that are happening to you in school that that's a good thing that you can go back and argue or fight those which you know is going to turn out into a different kind of poor behavior um so so for this book I just was hoping there'd be
026some kind of restriction to keep it into uh high schools because of because of uh chemical the brain development okay Kev I'm going to stop you right there I let you go over over a little bit 3 minutes and 18 seconds so okay I was expecting to hear a yeah buzz you did because we're a little bit ahead are would you like to add anything Whitney yeah so are we doing two minutes are we just doing the book of the anti resist right now just that book first okay okay are you ready and I'm giving everybody an extra minute since I gave Kim an extra minute oh okay um so so I will be honest I do not understand why this book is being challenged um doesn't have obscenity um passes the Miller test um
027I appreciated Mr Corey's comments and his reference to growing up in a rural small town um I also grew up in a small rural predominantly white town I was about 90 miles north of Tulsa Oklahoma um I was there throughout the entirety of the '90s and never once learned about the Tulsa Massacre um I didn't learn who emit till was I didn't learn about John Lewis or the significance of the bridge in Selma um and I realize now as an adult after learning about those things as an adult that that's because black history is oftentimes left out of our school curriculum um I was lucky I didn't have this book I would have appreciated having this book as a kid um as Mr Cory said I'm sure that there were mistakes that I made as
028a white person um simply because I didn't know um I was very lucky though that I played travel Sports and I had several um black friends growing up and so as young adults we talked about a lot of differences um we talked about the difference between our skin and our hair and the maintenance differences um we talked about um also how they felt and how they hurt when they experienced racism but I think most importantly what I learned from them was that um racism doesn't just come in the form of being called the n-word or another racial slur um I learned that often times my friends were followed through stores that they often had to allow staff to check their bags before they left a store um I've been in cars with male friends as
029young adults that have to consistently ly step out of their cars um in order go in order to for routine traffic stop so um you know I saw that racism as a young adult that had I not had those relationships I maybe not would not have understood it um the same way um I see racism as an adult too um I see it when people intentionally mispell my friend's name or touch her hair without asking uh when people use words like colored and motto or phrases like I don't see color um this book does a really great job of talking about the historical significance of those terms and how hurtful they are um and so I think that's why it's appropriate um for our kids to be able to learn um I appreciate the book
030and I hope that we maintain its accessibility for our students thank you m exping Miss R um um trying to kind of gather what thoughts I I have some ideas written down um I mostly appreciate that as adults were able to have these conversations that I think are really important for us to have um I appreciate the fact that we've had them very respectfully we're listening to each other which I think is a huge uh jump for our board and for the community members and I I appreciate that Kim I appreciate you bringing um facts about child development and how children's brains work and what they're actually capable of um understanding I think that's really important for us to think about that um I also um have a very diverse family myself I have four
031biracial grandchildren I have a biracial son-in-law I have a white son-in-law I have a white grandson and a white granddaughter and so this book as I was reading it um I was thinking about my grandchildren uh that's one of the reasons I ran for school board it doesn't have any I was accused of banning books that is not my goal it really is not my goal to ban books my my goal is that we that we think broader and that we think deeper and that we keep children in our utmost Focus um because sometimes I think we get caught up in all this adult stuff and we forget that CH children are going to school every day so my grandchildren are are going to school every day and encountering lots of different things and so
032my concern that I had while I was reading the book is um kind of descriptions of people in the book and nobody gets to choose the color of skin that they have we're all born with that without any choice but the one choice that we do get to make is people is how we interact and how we treat others and for me that's based on the heart that's inside of our our bodies so I could color my skin purple uh and green and all kinds of different colors but that doesn't change my heart so I think my concern about the book was um it seemed kind of black and white on how people should treat people based on skin color and I believe that really how we treat each other is based on our heart
033and how we have interactions with with other people um I also my job at Edison school because I was raised with mostly white people as well and I had a lot of pre conceive Notions and I learned a lot about families I learned a lot about children not of all the children that I taught that everybody didn't grow up like I did and that was a really um good opportunity for me and has given me a lot different perspective on the world so I just think we have to be really careful that thinking when children read a book that they're going to get the same kind of thinking from it that we we get as an adult I think we just have to be careful I also really want families to know uh what their
034children our reading so I'm not in favor of saying just get the book off the shelf but what I am in favor of is always making sure that our families know so that they can have that trust in us as a school district thank you Miss Ronda well you won't have to keep the timer on me um so I'm just going to State my position like I st at the last meeting um you know with the policy we have we have a committee that's made up anywhere between it looks like seven to 10 people with a librarian with the principal of that school possibly with the other administrators and community members and I'm just going to continue to uh stand behind them and whatever their decision is I'm going to trust them um because I
035feel like they are much more of an expert than I am and so I'm just going to continue as we move forward with this process to stand behind them and what their recommendation is thank you Mr nothing to add Madam president thank you um in the beginning I was not even going to speak because in all honesty this book even being on a list like this is like a slap in my face and then in all honesty being told that a book like this a book that could protect children like mine isn't necessary is honestly like a punch in the chest and as I'm up here one of the only people of color in this room and listening to reasons why this book is not necessary it makes me afraid and in all honesty there
036were a couple times when um I was like maybe I need a break and there were other times when I was honestly trying not to cry cuz as I was reading this book it's my life it's not a lot of y'all's lives and so it's easy to think you know that this is not in important enough or that kids are too young in order to understand it in all honesty I do agree with that because a lot of times I don't even understand why it matters um but it matters or it's not even going to be on the list and looking at this on the list um this book is anti-racist like why would you not want that and and in all honesty I'm not even able to continue are there any questions if there
037are no questions would you call the vote please we need a motion I make a motion to retain without restriction thank you is there a second a second M ch here's here's the tricky part of voting um I just want families to know so they can have the conversations with their children as their children are reading this book because I do think it's important that that we think about it together with families um and that that is the the only reason that I am choosing to vote no is because I really want families to be involved with conversations with their children so that the things that are happening that are not appropriate can stop person please Mr Moore yes M Miller no and a lot of that is the same reason that it is a
038great book for conversation but difficult to get if you're not um if you're not aware or um have opportunity to be in with people that aren't like you so I vote no just because I do think it's valuable for conversation and it needs to be done with the parent call question please Miss Williams yes Mr gar yes Miss Lanning yes and the motion passes four to two I like to take a 5 minute recess e e e okay let's get started number two okay we're moving to Frank by by Ellen Hopkins that book was challenged on May 29th on your sheets I think I have a total of four requests for reconsideration of materials forms I think that's actually three so you can make that correction on there if you'd like to um the committee
039met on July 29th and the decision was to retain the book with no restrictions of the seven committee members four chose to retain the book with no restrictions three members chose to retain the book with restrictions of those three one suggested a parent alert Andor parent permission one suggested sophomores an up and the last one did not make a suggestion the committee decision was appealed on July 30th and then once again you can go down to that checkout history this book is at Benton and Central it's been checked out a total of 29 times over five years 28 of those have been at Central High School and then if you would like to know the reasons I have that pulled up from the last one so on the three forms the first one says sexual
040content attempted suicide um with also a page of quotes from the book The Second One says not appropriate for minors also with quotes from the book and then the last one says content inappropriate for children and minors and additional quotes from the book do we know Dr MZ just for my own curiosity because it's not going to change my mind one way or the other um of those uh multiple times at Central were they were they was it the same student maybe rechecking it out or were they different student I don't know that um I would assume there's separate checkouts but that it could be the same individual kid okay but you can see there on that kind of breakdown so last year it was checked out six times 22 23 six times 2122 once
0412021 three times and then 1920 was checked out 12 times it's kind of spread out over the five years and then at Benton it was checked out in 1920 once but hasn't been checked out since I bet it was multiple times because it's a pretty it's a pretty lengthy book so so over five years it was checked out how many times 29 times over five years are there any additional questions for Dr mcness um cuz we began on my right last time I normally do since I am right-handed I'll begin on my left this time Whitney would you like to go first two minutes because we're back on schedule all right I can make it work I can make it work I can make it work I can do three I can do I'm GNA
042do under that it's GNA be fine okay um so I know that I've shared before um that I spent the early years of my career as a child abuse investigator I've also worked as a um worked closely with women in domestic violence shelters and women who are homeless um the majority of those women that I worked with um have experienced addiction and the negative things that go along with that what I can say after reading this book is that this this book very accurately describes their stories um and it does a good job of talking about the dangers of of addiction and the negative things that can happen um how the protagonist was introduced to drugs and alcohol um was when she was in high school school and whether or not we want to believe
043it or agree with it or not that's when kids are getting introduced to these types of things um it talks about how Christina or Bri starts failing school how addiction put her in unsafe situations um and as I've said um many of those women that have addiction have have experienced rape or sexual assault um so the other thing that I appreciate about this book is the description of Shame and how the protagonist felt shame um which prevented her from getting help and and really pushed her further into illicit drug use um I want to thank though Miss Harris for contacting um the author of the book Ellen Hopkins Ellen um shared an email and I shared that with the board she wrote please let them know my goal in writing the book and all the
044books I've written for teenss is to help them make better choices to bring perspective to the things life will throw at them and let them see possible outcomes I can send you messages from my I'm not going to make it under two uh from my readers if they would be helpful uh letting me know that I've accomplished this goal um so I totally agree with Miss Hopkins and that she met her goal with this it doesn't glamorize drug use it's very much a cautionary tale um I want to remind everyone that we have a parent notification system um and parents can restrict access to their kids to have this book um but so so many of our kids are in our district um have families have have friends um are faced with potential drug use
045and so I think it's important that they have accessibility to a book like this so that they're aware of the the potential implications so close thank you Miss L J okay um I I think the thing about this book that kind of caught my attention was the Unique Style that it was written in um which um was interesting to me as I read it um I once again it's just kind of like what I said about the book the previous book I I just have great concern about the graphic uh sexual scenes in the book and I guess one of the thoughts that I wrote down as I was thinking about this is um the serious mental health crisis um that I feel like our students have now and I guess I have concerns of
046of the descriptions that are in the book based on the fact that we do have some Mental Health crisis and what what if a child read this um and it caused them to do something rather than stop them from doing something and so um that's kind of where I'm coming from with it and um I also wrote down here too that um as a school school as a school body we talk to Children a lot about saying no to drugs and that they're not okay and I guess I'm just concerned that this book might send a mixed message and so those are just some thoughts that I had about it thank you m uh I'm prepared to vote uh four suggestions does it violate your school's handbook on profanity if the student can't say it
047in the Halls why does he have to read it in the classroom yes the real world uses foul language but we can walk away if we choose in a compulsory Ed system with an assigned reading a student en forced to read it with 50,000 books published every year is this the best we can recommend for our kids would the teacher read the book out loud in public if the book has a sexually explicit or gratuitously gratuitously violent passage that seems so relevant to student angst or sexual tension would the teacher be willing to read it at the next School Board meeting could it get could he give it to a school board member and ask her to read it out loud if he thinks it might be embarrassing maybe he need to think twice does
048the book represent the most noble and most inspiring literature children can read they'll probably spend most of their lives reading uninspiring stuff now's the chance to give him something that encourages noble character is the book the only one that will teach to that objective can the teacher satisfactorily defend why he chose that book and rejected or censored it any other possibility I understand that our kids this is an elective book it's not something that's forced on them in a classroom but if it's encouraged by us or other adults who think differently than those kids uh can we not provide something that carries the same substance but increases uh those Noble characteristics in our students instead of meeting them down here can't we meet them up here and encourage something different or better I had a
049cousin who hung himself in a park because he was on drugs this strikes an awful cord for me so I get it I get the that there's some value in doing that but again it's an opportunity for parents to step in and have those hard conversations with our kids but is it necessary for us as a school district to provide the material thank you Miss Miller nothing de okay I'll be brief after reading this book I cannot imagine a child reading this book and saying I want to do drugs or I want to do inappropriate acts in order to get drugs if they're reading this book and then afterwards are thinking I want this life then these kids have way bigger problems and we need to be worried about other things um and as a
050matter of fact other things I would it's almost embarrassing to be talking about hindering access to a book that accurately describes drug addiction if you look at at the records of addiction among kids and adults in this town and in our district it's really sad really and in all honesty we're spending all of this time talking about restricting access on the books that our community truly needs and we could be spending it on academics so um I'm ready to vote and move on make a motion to the V without restrictions thank you Whitney is there a second I'll second would you call the vote Please Mr Moore yes Miss Miller no Miss Lanning yes Miss chzn no Miss Williams yes Mr Garing yes and the motion passes 4 to two is there a motion to
051adjourn thank you was there a second second thank you you call the vote please Miss Miller yes M Williams yes Miss chesne yes Mr Garing yes M Lanning yes Mr Moore yes and the motion passes and this me is adjourned our next one's at 5:30
