Wanted to bust this out since I had a tl;dr above.

Here is the article statement about criteria for the books: "The panel reviewed existing board policy and the public rating systems that already exist for music, TV and video games."

Given that there were 20 uses of the f-word in the book, it would have obtained an R-rating in today's film market. That means nobody under 18 without a parent or guardian. That is exactly what the administrator states are the reasons for the book's removal (language, age-appropriateness), and the the criteria for being able to read it anyway: a parent can allow the student to read the book.
