Relating to a school district's library materials and catalog, the establishment of local school library advisory councils, and parental rights regarding public school library catalogs and access by the parent's child to library materials.

Contracts

• LMS/LIS Vendors (e.g., Follett, PowerSchool): Master Services Agreements (MSAs) must be amended to require functionality for (1) real-time parental access to specific student checkout history and (2) individual student "opt-out" restrictions enforced at the point of sale/checkout.
• Book Distributors: Purchase orders must include warranties that the vendor has screened materials for "sexually explicit" content. Contracts must include a "Right of Return" clause for materials challenged and removed within 12 months of purchase.

Hiring/Training

• Librarians & Aides: Staff must be trained on the "Kill Switch" protocol—the statutory requirement to immediately remove access to a book upon receipt of a challenge, prior to any review process.
• Circulation Staff: Training is required to cross-reference every checkout against individual student "No-Fly" lists provided by parents.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Procurement Manifests: Districts must post a list of *proposed* acquisitions (including donations) for public review 30 days prior to final Board approval.
• Challenge Documentation: Districts must utilize the forthcoming TEA-mandated form for all challenges and maintain a repository of these filings.
• Advisory Council Transparency: If a Local School Library Advisory Council is formed, audio/video recordings of meetings must be posted to the district website within 10 days.

Fees & Costs

• Budget Cycle Impact: The 30-day public review requirement extends the procurement cycle by at least 45 days. Funds must be encumbered earlier in the fiscal year to ensure delivery.
• Software Costs: Expect increased licensing fees from vendors to cover the development costs of new parental portals and notification systems.
