On May 5, 2026 at 12:52 PM Central Time, Wylie ISD Superintendent Dr. Kim Spicer replied by email to LION on the same correspondence thread that began with the April 28, 2026 compliance letter on the Literature Review Committee approval of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon.

Dr. Spicer stated in writing: “The January 13, 2026 approval has not been formally rescinded as a district record.”

The reply framed formal rescission as available only through the EFA(LOCAL) reconsideration process. Dr. Spicer also conceded that the College Board does not mandate specific titles for AP English Literature, and confirmed that Song of Solomon would not appear on Wylie ISD independent reading lists, in approved classroom libraries, or on teacher-maintained reading lists.

The written admission — that an administrative directive against the title coexists with a formal record of the LRC approval that remains in place — sets the documented predicate for the formal-record question that runs through the remainder of the correspondence.
