Henderson County Schools

The lists of books show locations in Henderson County Schools.  These books have sexually inappropriate or confusing gender concepts or content, some including self harm, suicide, violence, and/or racism. No data base is available to determine whether or not classrooms may contain these books. Therefore, we encourage citizens to ask teachers and administrators if these books are present or being used for instruction of any kind.

According to the Henderson County Public School website and Henderson County Public Library, students are automatically enrolled into StudentAccess.This access allows students (using their student ID) to select printed books, ebooks, audio books, etc through the public library system. PEP does not know or have access to find out if any safeguards are in place to protect students from reading or seeing graphic material that is inappropriate for their age or grade level. What filters are available?Ask your school administrators for more information.

We do our best to keep the lists up to date. If you see a change that needs to be made, please contact us.

The Content Based Rating System was inspired by  the widely accepted MPA rating system. This rating system is meant to be a quick guide for busy parents who want to know what objectionable material is found between a book's covers. While it is a great tool, it does not meet the standards needed for schools to use for evaluating materials for student use.
