On June 8, 2026, Whitesboro Independent School District (WBISD) replied to WBISD-PIA-001, LION’s June 1 Texas Public Information Act request for the district’s library catalog and 2025–26 reading lists. The reply was sent by Sharon Bryan, the high school’s Library Media Specialist, with WBISD’s Director of Curriculum Shelley Reeves on copy.
For the library catalog (item 1), the response pointed to a public Destiny portal URL — a title-by-title search interface hosted at destiny3.esc11.net — rather than the native library-management-system export the request asked for.
For approved reading lists (item 2), the response identified three curriculum programs used at different grade levels (K–5 Bluebonnet, 6–8 Perfection Next, 9–12 McGraw Hill/Pearson) and stated the district “will also follow the TEA Approved Reading List of Literary Works List.” The response did not attach any of the district-level or campus-level records described in the request.
LION replied by email the same day, asking WBISD to (1) generate the native Destiny catalog export for each of the district’s four campuses; (2) produce actual approved reading lists, supplemental materials lists, or ELA curriculum book lists — or, if no such records exist as discrete documents, a brief written confirmation to that effect; and (3) confirm who serves as Whitesboro ISD’s designated Public Information Coordinator under Texas Government Code §552.012.
