Books in Schools

This tracker currently lists 62 distinct titles that have been banned or challenged within Broward County Public Schools. That places the district among the more active in Florida in terms of the volume of titles subject to removal or review, though the scale varies considerably from one Florida district to another depending on local review processes and how aggressively challenges have been pursued.

Much of this activity has unfolded against the backdrop of Florida House Bill 1467, signed into law in 2022, which expanded requirements for school districts to review and approve materials available in classrooms and library collections, and established new avenues for parents and residents to challenge specific titles. The law is widely cited as a driver of increased book review activity across Florida school districts, including this one.
