On January 20, 2026 — seven days after the Wylie Independent School District Literature Review Committee approved Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon for required AP English Literature reading — Wylie ISD adopted an updated version of its local instructional-resources policy, Board Policy EFA(LOCAL).

EFA(LOCAL) governs the selection, approval, and reconsideration of instructional materials — including supplemental literary texts and Literature Review Committee approvals. The face of the produced EFA(LOCAL) policy document carries the footer notation “Adopted: 1/20/2026” and identifies the update as TASB Update 126.

Under the policy, the Wylie ISD Board of Trustees delegates initial selection of instructional materials to district professional staff but retains ultimate authority over instructional materials. The seven-day gap between the LRC approval and the policy update is a documented timeline. The district has not stated on the public record whether the policy update was related to the Song of Solomon approval.
