Formal Review

Pursuant to policy 2521, the books listed below were submitted for informal review and now are at the formal review process. Policy states the books are to be removed from circulation during the formal review process, the books listed have been removed from circulation pending the outcome of review by the BPS Book Reconsideration Committee.  The books will be couriered to the Curriculum and Instruction office so the books may be used by the committee for the formal review. 

***Due to the language in HB 1069 requiring removal of titles that are not allowed to be read during the public comment, BPS has a set of titles that were not on the formal object list, but the speakers were stopped due to content or language. At this time, BPS will ensure all titles read aloud are removed from circulation pending review. Titles are listed below. The legal team is researching whether speakers that were stopped from reading content or language require use of the title to be discontinued.
