?Multiple schools

[Kathleen Morrow <kmorrow@POTLATCH.ESD112.WEDNET.EDU>]

I am the only librarian in our small district in Washington state.  I
serve all four buildings in the district--two elementary schools, a middle
school and a high school.  They are located in two different towns about
five miles apart.  I'm wondering how many people out there are in the same
boat that I'm in.

I'm interested to know about your situation.  How many students are in
your schools?  Do you have aides?  My two elementary schools are around
350-400 students each, the middle school is around 200, and the high
school is around 450.  I have full time aides in three of the buildings
and a part time aide in the middle school.  I have scheduled classes for
grades 4-6 every week, and my elementary aides have storytime and checkout
with K-3.  We are considered teachers planning time, even though my aides
are not certified teachers they have full responsibility of the classes
while they are in the library.  Apparently that it legal because I am the
teacher on record (!)  Do you have scheduled classes or are you flexible?
How long have you been doing this?
