H636

Promoting Wholesome Content for Students

Chamber Passed·4/28/25

North Carolina H636 establishes criteria for library media in public schools and allows parents, guardians, and residents to challenge media deemed.

North Carolina H636 mandates that public school units adopt policies for selecting and procuring library media, ensuring they meet specific criteria. These criteria include supporting students' learning, meeting high literary and artistic standards, and being appropriate for students' age and development. The bill also establishes a community library advisory committee to review challenges to media. If a piece of media receives 10 or more objections, the superintendent must submit these objections to the committee for review.
