"Southlake's Rotary Club has given out stacks of dictionaries to third graders in the city's public schools for years, but now the district's new book policies have made those donations more difficult," reported Michael Mooney. "Texas schools ban more books than any other state, and battles over book-approval guidelines have dominated school board discussions for more than a year. The fact that the conversation has turned to dictionaries shows how strict these policies have become." 

"The Rotary Club has held off purchasing its usual lot of student dictionaries until the district assures the group that its members will be able to deliver the books to students in person, per NBC5," said the report.

Here's the sign outside the school district administration building.
