Parent catalog access and checkout controls

Open the catalog

Open the district Library Services page and choose the Destiny catalog. For classroom collections, the district directs families to Canvas or Seesaw. Ask the campus librarian for help identifying the relevant library and student record.

Official catalog entry point

Set a child’s restrictions

The district links an English and Spanish parent restriction form for specific materials. Submit the district’s form through its campus process. Separate parent permission is described for AP/dual-credit resources outside standard library materials.

The procedures above are drawn from the district sources below. Parent authentication and private student records were not accessed.

Acquisitions, challenges and council participation

Acquisition and public-comment process

Proposed titles are published by grade band for a 30-day public review before board approval. The page links a public feedback form. A displayed 2026–27 schedule also includes February, March and July dates labeled 2026; the year sequence is inconsistent and is not silently corrected here. Confirm a particular deadline with the district.

Challenge or reconsideration

The district links formal reconsideration instructions and a form. Its decision register distinguishes the review body and the final determination. The five September 2026 cases remain marked pending in the latest dated register; no later final order was located during this audit.

Council, appointments and petitions

A current statutory advisory-council roster, qualifying petition and final establishment record were not located in the reviewed sources. The current EFB portal is linked by the district, but its text and adoption date could not be independently extracted.

Implementation timeline

  1. 2025-10Register attributes removal of I am Billie Jean King to the Board of Trustees. Conroe ISD formal reconsideration determinations
  2. 2025-11Register attributes two restorations to the board. Conroe ISD formal reconsideration determinations
  3. 2026-02Register reports restoration of The Action Bible: Heroes and Villains. Conroe ISD formal reconsideration determinations
  4. 2026-09-11Register update lists five September cases pending review. Conroe ISD formal reconsideration determinations

Evidence gaps and conflicts

The register uses month-level dates, not exact board meeting dates, and provides no vote tallies for the selected cases. A past restoration is the last recorded action, not proof of every campus’s current stock. The local page’s broad two-year statement should be read alongside §33.027(j), which addresses material the board retained.

Parent questions

How do I see my child’s school-library catalog?

Open the district Library Services page and choose the Destiny catalog. For classroom collections, the district directs families to Canvas or Seesaw. Ask the campus librarian for help identifying the relevant library and student record.

How do I limit books for my own child?

The district links an English and Spanish parent restriction form for specific materials. Submit the district’s form through its campus process. Separate parent permission is described for AP/dual-credit resources outside standard library materials.

Does this page prove that every listed title is currently available or removed?

No. Read the date, campus, decision-maker and current-status field on each record. A historical committee action, current pending review and final board decision carry different evidentiary weight.

Where can I find the law and compare other districts?

Read the Texas SB 13 guide and search the district database. The report explains the limits of this sample.
