Teachers at Parrish Community High School in Manatee County, Florida were told this morning to "remove or cover all classroom libraries until all materials can be reviewed."
Moving forward no book can be added to a classroom library until it is:
1. Approved by a media specialist
2. Reviewed and approved by a School Advisory Council (SAC) of parents, teachers and students
3. Signed off on by the principal
You can understand how already overstretched teachers may choose simply not to maintain a classroom library that than jump through all these hoops
Only about 50% of Manatee students currently read at grade level.
