[CALIBK12] I need your help

[Barnes, Margaret]

Cheryl's letter brings up a question I've been pondering since the
budget crunch began and some of our principals have proposed closing
their libraries.  I've been preaching Ed. Code - 
18100.  The governing board of each school district shall provide
school library services for the pupils and teachers of the district
by establishing and maintaining school libraries or by contractual
arrangements with another public agency.
 
18103.  The libraries shall be open to the use of the teachers and
The pupils of the school district during the schoolday...

This sounds like districts are required to maintain libraries.  The
"contractural arrangements with another public agency" part is
disturbing, however.  Does anyone know what that actually means and how
it impacts the responsibility to have site libraries - if there is such
a responsibility?
