[CALIBK12] Link/SavingLibraryServices

[Darla Brown]

The CSLA Standards and Guidelines for Strong School Libraries states that the district LM supervisor "possesses a California teaching credential and Calif. LMT services credential. In addition, some districts may require an administrative credential and/or a master's degree."  p. 23

Hi all:
Under that same section this manual mentions a "Note: Holders of General Elementary and Secondary Teaching Credential may only provide library media services at a school site and may not provide library services at the district or county level."

So my question is: What additional credential(s) does it take for a person to provide library services at the district or county level?
Thanks,
a

For those of you in districts considering cutting library services, the link below brings you to a CTC Handbook (Revised September 2007) which might provide some support in attempts to save positions and funding. Scroll to section "N" which discusses School Librarian/Library Media Teacher Services. The second page includes Assignments Notes which is quite clear about the need to include credentialed librarians when providing library services.
