Re: Impact of site-based management in schools on library media

[Deborah Chaney <chaney@TENET.EDU>]

The impact of site-based management in schools on the library media
program is in large part determined by how active the librarian is. It is
imperative that a librarian be included on this team. If no one will
lobby for you, then you must lobby for yourself to be a part. Otherwise,
decisions will be made which WILL impact your media center and its
programming, and you will have had no voice in the matter.
