The Randolph County School System (RCSS) is a school district headquartered in Asheboro, North Carolina, United States.[1] It serves Randolph County, except for a central portion of the county, which is served by Asheboro City Schools.

History
In 2013 the district board voted 5-2 to ban Invisible Man from the school libraries. Gary Mason, a board member, said that he "didn’t find any literary value."[3] The board vote occurred after a parent of an 11th grade student at Randleman High School complained about the book.[4][5] After immediate outrage from residents and negative national coverage, the board voted 6-1 to reverse the decision within two weeks.[6][7]
