Our district currently staffs its elementary libraries with classified aides under a two year waiver from the state. We will shortly be proposing to the board that they certify these positions and require a state library endorsement. We are now putting our presentation together and would very much appreciate hearing from any MT librarians whose districts have also gone through this process. Were you successful? What arguments/rationales were effective? Did you cite any research, e.g., Colorado or Krashen studies? How did you address cost concerns? Also, in our district, we have two state certified librarians working as aides, providing professional services. How can we convince the board to pay these people more to provide the same services that they provide now as aides? In short, we would welcome any advice or guidance you would be willing to share with us. Thanks, George. George Boyer Librarian Winans School Livingston, MT
