June 26, 2025 School Board Statement
Action Plan Below
I can stand here and explicitly describe how my stepfather had me sit on his hand with no underwear on. Or, I can explicitly describe how my virginity was taken at the age of 8. Or I can write these explicit sexual experiences in a book. Then it can be found on the shelves of our public school libraries. I could, but I do not see the educational value of any books that contain sexually explicit experiences. These books are promoted as healthy, therapeutic, and necessary for the benefit of diversity. Librarians, teachers, and counselors are not qualified mental health professionals, but we are deciding through the lens of adults that a young mind needs to read through the sexual experiences of rape, incest, abuse, experimentation, and how to books to promote a sense of healing and understanding of one’s self. These books are never looked at as how it could negatively trigger a young mind. These books negatively trigger me. We must look at the other side of the coin to consider that these sexually explicit books might be harmful to the mental health of our students. CCSD has no data to prove sexually explicit books improve the lives of our students in an academic environment. Open the doors to these libraries so all this in-fighting can end. So, that the perception of secrecy can end. So, the accusations can end. I request Regulation 6150 be put on the agenda to discuss repealing it.
Repeal Regulation 6150: Action Plan
It is time to take up the mantle of ridding our school district of Regulation 6150. It is time to demand that our board members and our superintendent vote for a public school open-source county library system. Our families deserve transparency.
How to make your voice heard in support of abolishing Regulation 6150 to an open source library system.

Statement:
The restrictiveness of Regulation 6150 contrasts starkly to the transparency other school districts in Nevada have achieved. These districts have employed an open-source platform for their libraries, notably the County Follett Destiny system. This platform allows parents and the community ready access to the materials available in school libraries.
An open-source county public school library system not only encourages transparency, but it also supports the free exchange of knowledge and ideas. It enables parents, educators, and the community to be more actively involved - which is a fundamental principle of public education.
I request an appeal to Regulation 6150 for the conversion of our school-based libraries into an Open-Source County Public School Library System.
