District support for Media?

[Gail Przeclawski <przeclg@OCPS.K12.FL.US>]

Our county is undergoing a BIG restructuring. The Media listserve for the
county just got an E-Mail (confirming the rumer) that the position for the
person downtown that was our Media contact  was eliminated as part of the
district's reorganization plan.  Now, we have not had a true Media support
department in our county for quite a while (I'm new, but I think it's been
4 or more years when they also did away with a county level AV lending
library and cataloging help.) The message went on to say that if we felt
that the district was... " not presently equipped to support their media
specialists in ways that are truly needed, I suggest that a group of media
specialists meet to determine what those unmet needs are."  Well, you don't
have to ask me twice to pull out my soapbox, but I am brand new so I'd like
to know how other districts do it.
