Hallsville Independent School District

Senate Bill (SB) 13, passed by the 89th Texas Legislature, adds new requirements related to a school district’s library materials and catalog. These requirements include:

• Ensuring parents have access to the library catalog and can control which library materials their students can access
• Ensuring an effective library material challenge process, including, if appropriate, the use of a local school library advisory council
• Updating the school system’s library materials acquisition policy

These requirements are outlined in greater detail below. Additionally, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has developed guidance for a model Library Materials Policy as an option to assist school systems in complying with the new requirements. That guidance is available online on the Texas Education Agency Model Policies and Guidance for Texas School Systems webpage.
