Teachers account is UP!

here we go (it's 9:05, incidentally!)

(remember: librarians come under the teacher account)

Monfredo: glad we're reinstating two librarians positions. "Once we cut services here, we don't bring them back...school libraries are primarily classrooms, where information skills are taught." We live in "an information age...common denominator...print and electronic format.." (reference to the librarian who spoke "six hours ago")

Foley "gets to the heart of the matter..how do you deal with diminishing funds...highest priority..erosion of the elementary school librarians...really a shame..two middle school librarians versus elementary class size especially in grades three through six. That's really raising an alarm with parents." Spoke with principals..they'd prefer a teacher to a librarian. The city council has added six new positions. Moves to add two elementary positions (rather than librarians)
