SCSD#2 Seeking Comments on School Book Policy

News – Sheridan Media

On Wednesday, Oct. 8 from 6 to 7 p.m., at Sheridan Junior High School, SCSD#2 staff and community members will have an opportunity to share their thoughts, provide feedback and ask questions about Policy IJL, (Library Materials Selection and Access). The school urges those interested to attend and share their ideas on library materials.

The issue of school library materials has been the subject of much community comment and concerns at SCSD#2, as well as throughout the nation.

Several community members have shared their concerns with the SCSD#2 School Board, with opinions on both end of the spectrum. Some approached the board about several books, which they felt included offensive content, should be taken from the school library shelves; with others arguing that choosing the books should be left to the school librarian and other professionals at the school.

This upcoming event will be a place where those who are concerned about the books in the school library will be able to share their ideas and comments on the school library book policy.
