[aisle] Teacher complaint (and removal behind my back) about a book in my library

[Laurie H]

Hello all,

Thank all of you for your support.  My curriculum director and
superintendent are currently reviewing *Fred Gets Dressed*.  I am hopeful
for a good outcome but I want to be prepared for the worst.

If you have similar issues and/or want to provide training to your school
in the future, please reach out to Mandy Saia, LSTA Coordinator Illinois
State Library, email her at  *asaia at ilsos.gov <asaia at ilsos.gov> .  *She is
working on a long term plan to provide Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
training among other resources.

Thank you all again. It truly takes a village and you are my people.

Laurie
