Kane Gets 6 Months
BOE says he must clean up  book-buying mess, win staff's respect

By Debra Barayuga

"State librarian Bart Kane has six months to clean up the mess
surrounding the controversial Baker &AMP Taylor book contract and try to earn
back the respect of his employees.

The state Board of Education early today voted 11 to 2 in favor of
retaining Kane for the next six months, provided he meets certain
conditions................

The decision to retain Kane came after the board deliberated for more than
three hours behind closed doors, following a slew of testimony from
librarians and concerned citizens who strongly opposed Kane's reappointment.

By the time the board made its decision at 12:55 a.m....the subdued group of
librarians filed quietly out of the room after the decision."

---------------------------------------------------
Conditions to be met:

 settle all issues surrounding the Baker &AMP Taylor contract dispute

 come up with an administrative plan  to  address selection and processing of
books

 improve communication within the library system
