The Library Mess

This library thing is getting serious. Some teachers at the high schools have refused to take part in senior projects because cutting off this resource – the library – unnecessarily handicaps the student. And it does. Administrative pork remains, but valuable resources that directly benefit students are chopped. Now senior projects are jeopardized.

Perhaps the district needs to rethink its commitment to the small schools move for now. Perhaps the district needs to rethink its position on overpaid and under worked School Improvement Facilitators, contracts with Action Learning Systems and America’s Choice (the curriculum not the school), and other dubious sources of spending (i.e. numerous consultants).

The next board meeting is this Thursday. The libraries aren’t on the agenda, but many teachers, parents, and students are planning to voice their opinions during the comments portion of the meeting.

Come on down and make your voice heard.
