The Importance ofthe Library Team

In addition to resources, school libraries need staffing to improve student achievement, and this is the area whereimprovement is needed in Petaluma when school funding improves.

The Importance of the Library Team Only our high schools have the necessary team of librarian and paraprofessional.

The Importance of the Library Team Our junior highs have a librarian without the needed paraprofessional.

The Importance of the Library Team Our elementaries have a paraprofessional without the needed librarian.

more staffing = more hours open before and after school more staffing = more support to students during class time more staffing = more collaboration with classroom teachers more staffing =more student instruction and staff development
