[CALIBK12] American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to help school libraries.

[Donna Purcell]

Hi Joy~  I emailed it to my Superintendent and CC'd the Asst. Super and
my principal and I haven't heard anything from any of them.  We have 16
elementary schools, 4 middle schools and 2 high schools in our district.
The elementary school library techs were cut to 5 or 6 hours a day, the
middle schools were cut to 6 and the high school techs were eliminated
completely (we have credentialed librarians at the high schools).  It is
not a pleasant time here at OUSD.

I sent this to the superintendent, assistant superintendent, and
director of finance and received a thank you from the superintendent of
our school district in less than an hour. Yes ... pass it on!

Calibbers may want to read about how President Obama's ARRA can help
school libraries. Here's a quote from ALA President Jim Rettig, and the
link to the full article is below his quote.
"It is important that library advocates and supporters make sure that
school superintendants, school board members, and their governor
understand the importance of using these funds to invest in our children
by investing in school libraries and librarians," Rettig said. 
Here's the link, from the ALA Washington Office:

Now would be a good time to start contacting your own superintendent,
school board members, and Gov. Schwarzenegger to assure that your school
district will get some of this money to support its school libraries.
