The administration of Santa Rosa City Schools has proposed that all school
libraries (elementary, middle, and high schools) be closed beginning with
school year 2009-10. The school board is inviting public comment regarding
these proposals. Our teacher union informs us that they get reports from
school board members as to how many comments were made regarding which
proposals.
