Good morning Adam,
In response to your public records request, attached please find the
following:
The Hernando School District Media Handbook
A Request for School Reconsideration form from Moms for
Liberty-Hernando Chapter. The Hernando School District had only one
challenge form submitted after January 1, 2021. The book was removed
prior to the challenge as it was not age appropriate.
Please reply to confirm receipt and let me know if I can be of further
assistance.
Thank you,
