Parents of students who attend Conroe Independent School District anticipate the Board of Trustees to discuss the district’s policy on its removal policy of selected library books ahead of Tuesday night’s meeting.

This is an issue of simply saying I’m going to respect your rights as a parent to instill the values you want in your child,” he said. “I’m hearing from both Democrats and Republicans in support of Katy’s policy.”
