[CALIBK12] Library Media Class - Please Advise

[Lynne Michels]

If your students in library media, library practice, whatever title is given
 are counted in with all other student office workers, classroom student TA
s, monitors, etc., during any given period in a school (usually secondary
level), it may likely total over 36 students.  They can all be given a
common course number, and even have one teaching staff member (often a
counselor or administrator) as the teacher of official record.  Each student
can be assigned to a different classroom or office.  Your library students
can be given the particular course content you choose to provide.  Each
teacher with a monitor or TA can keep attendance and grades, which will be
turned into the teacher of official record at grading periods.

At this time, we have a library media class which consist of 5 students
per period. It was written as a vocational class many years ago and we
have kept it going. However, our district has just informed the librarians
that every class needs to have 36 students including our library media
class which will effectively turn us in to classroom teachers vs
librarians. The librarian position was not eliminated at our school and we
have a busy and functioning library. I would like any advice that you may
have in dealing with this issue.
Thanks, Cindy
