Recently, the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) board approved a new book selection and opt-out policy. They called it “Selection and Evaluation of Instructional Materials.”
The book policy that was initially passed by the previous board “ensured that parents knew what books their kids were reading in school, and let them know they had the right to opt-out of those books if they chose. But the new Board majority does not like that policy and is moving to get it reversed.”
