mill levy to supplement instructional programs including the school
libraries.  The openings will be at the elementary, middle and high school
levels.  These positions are placed on the teacher salary schedule.  Denver
Public Schools accepts ten (10) years of teaching experience in the last ten

acquire teaching credentials within 3 years.  The District is especially
interested in those applicants with skills in Spanish.

The function of the Library Media Specialist within Denver Public Schools is
to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and
information.  The LMS will work with teachers to collaboratively develop
learning opportunities to teach information skills.  The LMS is responsible
for managing, training, and coordinating the library staff, including
volunteers.  The LMS will manage the library collection which includes
