Libraries and Teacher Librarians are not a luxury, they are a necessity in this information age with 21st century technology. Let's be more creative and realistic with suggesting what we can do without. Our students need these services now, more than ever! Well, they’ve done it again!

The highest ranked choices were three day weekends in April, attached to spring break, and at the end of the school year. Because of testing schedules we were unable to agree to taking all the days in April, so the days we agreed on represent a mix of the highest ranked choices. The impact on after school tutoring is an unintended consequence. Perhaps the tutoring schedules could be adjusted to fit the needs of the students and teachers in the program.

Not one date of the three days was an option on the survey. Also, having these days on Mondays also cut into some supplementary income for some employees assigned to Mondays specifically (e.g. after school tutoring), so we get hit twice by the cuts. Thanks!

The staffing of aides is up to the administration. I expect that the district will begin staffing aides this way at the beginning of next year.

This will really revolutionize the way we teach. And why am I so thrilled!!! because finally, we won't be held hostage to ALL the time and efforts teacher librarians must spend dealing with issues related to these over loaded monstrosities, students won't strain their backs lugging them around, and in the end tons of money can be saved.
