GET ME REWRITE: This is how the Academy D20 school district in Colorado Springs inspires its students

 

Top headline:  Colorado Times Recorder, 8/26/2024

Hiring notice:  Academy District 20

The policy was implemented after a conservative takeover of the school board

According to a link near the bottom of the district’s YA middle school information website page, “This choice to access YA literature is for families of middle school students to reflect the diverse literacy needs of readers grades 6-8, or ages 11-14. This does not impact students in elementary or high schools.” 

The district’s library opt-in policy doesn’t stop at YA books. The posted document also states, “Middle school students will not have any access to Destiny or Sora materials until their parents/guardians complete the library access questions.” 

Destiny is the district’s online school library catalog, and Sora is an online platform and app for e-books and audiobooks.
