Controversy
[edit]In September 2024, NCSD settled a lawsuit with students and parents who had sued the district over alleged unlawful removal of books containing LGBTQ+ content from school libraries, with the district agreeing to replace three dozen books, including the children's book And Tango Makes Three, which the district agreed is not obscene and is appropriate for students of all ages.[4]
The Nassau County School District which has had many scandals recently involving race, sex, and other social issues. The current superintendent Kathy Burns has denied the claims of systemic racism.[5] Kathy Burns denied claims in a recent law suit Joinville v. Nassau County School Board.[5] Since the passing of Amendment 1, Establishing School Board Elections as Partisan, Kathy Burns identified as a republican.[6]
Civil rights groups and auditors also say that the school has systemic problems with opportunities and discipline regarding minorities.[7] An audit from the state of Florida also shows that Black students with disabilities are more than 2 times more likely to get disciplined.[8]
