MENTOR, Ohio-The Mentor Public School District board approved a new policy on books after contentious debates over controversial library materials. Concerns raised by parents led to changes, including a ban on donated books and email notifications to parents about their children’s library choices. The policy empowers parents to decline book requests for their children and shifts book challenge reviews to committees of educators. Despite opposition and threats of future electoral consequences, the board moved forward with the policy changes amid ongoing community debate.
