Elem: Making a case for flexible scheduling

[Pat Dunford <pat_dunford@HOTMAIL.COM>]

My name is Pat Dunford and I teach in a K-5 elementary school in rural
western North Carolina. While I am not the current librarian, I will be
soon, as my media specialist is retiring.  My question to the list is, how
do I make the case for flexible scheduling in my school when the other
teachers are not willing to give up that 45 minute planning period they get
once a week while their kids are in the library?  It is my opinion that our
media center is highly ineffective and inefficient, but I am concerned that
teachers will be afraid to try.  Thanks for your attention.  Pat Dunford
