Please share this with all interested persons.
Parents, administrators, and librarians are encouraged to bring
their views. Meetings like these are being held all over the state.
It is important for schools in the area to have input before
the standards are written.  Come prepared to share with Jeanette
Larson, Texas State Library, Library Development Division, your
views of what the new standards should contain.

The legislature transferred library standards from the Texas
Education Agency to the Texas State Library and Archives
Commission, in consultation with the State Board of Education.
After receiving input from the public, the new standards will
be written.  Public input will be solicited again before the
final version is submitted to the State Board of Education.

For additional information about these and other meetings, contact
Jeanette Larson (jlarson@tenet.edu) or call 512-463-5456.
