Parent catalog access and checkout controls

Open the catalog

Use Find your Campus Library on the district Library Resources page. It opens the Destiny campus list. The same district page links Destiny and Sora parent-control instructions and the CFISD parent portal.

Official catalog entry point

Set a child’s restrictions

The live district page says parents can opt a child into higher collections or out of library services using Library Opt-In/Out in the parent portal. Specific-title restrictions are available separately in Destiny and Sora; Sora is described for grades 3–12. Use the linked instructions for each system.

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

The policy text requires a public list for at least 30 days before trustees approve or reject new purchases or donations. A dated September 5, 2025 list documents a historical window ending October 6, 2025. A current open window was not independently confirmed.

Challenge or reconsideration

The retrieved policy text begins with informal campus review, followed by a signed TEA form to the district-level library supervisor if unresolved. It describes full-work committee review and temporary access restrictions. The current parent-representative committee page lists October 2, 2026 as its application deadline, now past at baseline.

Council, appointments and petitions

A library reconsideration committee is documented. A separate §33.025 advisory-council establishment record, roster or qualifying petition was not located. Committee recruitment alone does not establish a statutory council.

Evidence gaps and conflicts

The policy PDF changed at a persistent URL: search indexing describes an eight-page adopted 2025 version, while direct retrieval returned nine pages with blank adoption fields. Its exact current adoption date remains unverified. Historical 2022–23 committee outcomes below are not SB 13-era board decisions or current catalog checks.

Parent questions

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

Use Find your Campus Library on the district Library Resources page. It opens the Destiny campus list. The same district page links Destiny and Sora parent-control instructions and the CFISD parent portal.

How do I limit books for my own child?

The live district page says parents can opt a child into higher collections or out of library services using Library Opt-In/Out in the parent portal. Specific-title restrictions are available separately in Destiny and Sora; Sora is described for grades 3–12. Use the linked instructions for each system.

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.
