Book selection controversy
In January 2015, a parent of an elementary school student expressed concern over the book Emma and Meesha My Boy, which depicts a homosexual family. Critics suggested that the book was not suitable for early elementary school children. The board voted 5–1 in favor of keeping the book in school libraries.
