 In our school district, department chairs receive an additional stipend =
for their extra duties; budgeting, ordering supplies, supervising others, =
and =
attending extra meetings.  All departments except media receive this =
stipend.  Media does not, because as my principals and superintendent =
stated "...Media is viewed differently."    The union has asked me to find =
instances in other districts  in which media department heads are =
considered on equal status with other teachers. ( I work under the same =
contract as everyone else.  I'm just"viewed differently.")
 Is this just unique to my district?  To Minnesota? =
 The country as a whole?  The world?  I would =
like to bury them with examples of fair and equitable treatment of media =
specialists.  =
TIA x 1,000,000.
