I am a school librarian at x. We are confronting a serious situation. Because of the financial crisis in our community, our school board is addressing a proposed substantial budget cut.  One of the proposed strategies is to drastically reduce the number of school librarians in the area claiming that school libraries can be effectively run by aides to ensure services are provided and the library remains open.  This is despite the fact that I have hundreds of students in the library each day, and teach in the classroom regularly.  I have voiced my objection, but I am told that such reductions will not impact on student learning in any way.

Editor's Notes

  1. This is a very critical slide and is repeated toward the end of the day. The discussion of this slide should help attendees realize that they can identify and collect real evidence in their own situation. They probably all have pieces like the items on this list in drawers or file folders in their buildings. It is important to identify the ‘evidence’ they decide to collect, gather and organize it in a meaningful way and then share it appropriately.
