School Library Advisory Council
A local school library advisory council (SLAC) was established to assist the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in each school library catalog. All recommendations made by SLAC must adhere to the library standards approved by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC).
Parental Rights
SB 13 requires school systems to adopt procedures that allow parents of enrolled children to access the school’s catalog of library materials and submit a list of materials their child may not be allowed to check out or access outside the school library. The procedures must allow parents to do the following:
- Access the district or school’s online library catalog system
- Submit a list of materials using an electronic or physical form
Each time the parent’s child checks out or uses library material outside the school library, public schools that use a learning management system (LMS) or online learning portal must provide each parent with a record including the title, author, genre and return date, as applicable.
Meetings
The council meets at least two times per school year, once in the fall and once in the spring, and at any other times, as determined by the committee chair or required by policy, as necessary to fulfill all responsibilities. Here you will find dates, agendas, minutes, and audio recordings of the meetings.
