Southlake's Rotary Club has put its annual donation to third graders on hold.
Parents in nearby Grapevine-Colleyville ISD say they're having trouble donating books because of that district's new 20-page book-donation protocol.Rotary Club members say the annual donation of dictionaries is about more than the physical books — it's a chance for members of the community to tell students about the virtue of service-above-self.
"[We] talk to third graders about the value of learning, and learning not just from their phone," a Rotary Club member"We have apologized for the delay in distributing these books; however, as with all book donations, they must follow the new procedure as outlined in the policy," Southlake ISD told NBC5.
"We are grateful for this long-standing tradition, and we hope to continue our positive relationship with the Southlake Rotary Club."
