BoE Rejects Bid to Review Impressions Guides
The county Board of Education on Monday voted 5-2 to deny reopening the review of Holt Impressions teacher guides amid a push by the Concerned Women of America. The group had urged reconsideration of exemptions from hearings on the classroom books after parents alleged witchcraft and neo pagan themes. The panel previously upheld the books with guides in use, a decision that could prompt a lawsuit if appeals are revived.
