TARGET: Breaking up collections

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@orednet.org>]

Our district will be doing some shifting next year. New attendance
boundaries have been established. About 100 elementary students
will "move" to a different elementary school, increasing the
population at one school and decreasing it at another.

The principal at the school that will see increased population
wants the other school to send along a percentage of its
library collection. While this seems logical on the surface,
I have some reservations. Serious reservations in fact.
(insert concerns regarding how collections are developed
here)

How have others handled this kind of situation? What would
you say to the principal to help him understand why this
is not the best solution? Or am I overly concerned??

Many thanks!
