At its first regular board meeting of the year on Jan. 17, the Conroe ISD board of trustees is set to discuss topics that include new attendance zones for the Grand Oaks High School feeder and the removal of a library book.
The trustees will hear an appeal regarding the book, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and determine whether the book fits the criteria for removal from CISD libraries. At previous board meetings, parents have brought forth concerns about the book, saying it contains sexually explicit material that violates the state’s law pertaining to distribution of harmful material to a minor.
In August, the board passed a policy for a revised library book review process to review books that parents flag as concerning.
The board will also review a trustee’s request to be a standing member of all book recommendation committees.
