Federal court rules school board members can be deposed over book removals
Original: School Board members can be deposed for removing library books, federal court rules
A federal court has ruled that school board members can be questioned under oath in deposition over their decisions to remove library books from school shelves. The decision affects ongoing legal challenges to book removals, particularly in Florida, where districts have pulled numerous titles amid disputes over content. The ruling means board members may have to personally answer for their reasons, rather than shielding behind official immunity, as lawsuits over library book removals continue to move through the courts.
Why now: School districts, especially in Florida, are actively facing lawsuits over book removals and the ruling opens board members to personal legal questioning.
