Parental Complaints Regarding Library and Other Instructional Materials
Claiming that TASB has abdicated its obligation to address his concerns regarding inappropriate library and instructional materials in public schools, Governor Abbott called on TEA to create standards to address his concerns. In response, TEA created a model policy to replace the existing District policy addressing the selection and reconsideration of instructional materials. 
During this presentation we will discuss:
     The Governor’s call to address his concern regarding pornography and other obscene content in Texas public schools, including school libraries.
     TEA’s model policy in response to the Governor’s call.
     TASB’s proposed alternative policies.
     Political considerations.
     The necessity for revisions to EF(LOCAL) and the impact on district resources.

Know Your Audience
Teachers, community members, fellow board members - as a trustee, you must communicate with people of all ages. When preparing for and presenting to adults, there are many factors to consider.

We will scratch the surface of brain science and generational thinking in this interactive workshop.
