This year the School Board will have a special meeting on Feb. 28 to approve staff proposed new instructional materials.
Florida has a public process for parents to review and comment on the proposed materials. The agenda notice for the meeting contains those instructions. The link and pdf of the agenda are below.
Parents concerned about woke contents in textbooks, or CRT (Critical Race Theory) topics should seriously consider reviewing the listed class materials and submit comments. One problem, however, is that the STATE creates a small list of available materials, and the School staff must choose between them, thus the School staff may have to choose the "least worst" books on the list based upon their selection process.
LCSD DID create a policy to prohibit teaching CRT topics in classes, but that may not cover other objectionable materials. Parent input is needed. We need parent ACTION, ACTION, ACTION.
