> Hi, everyone.
> My principal dropped a major bombshell on me this afternoon around 4:30
> (that's what I get for working late on a Friday).
> Once again, our district has been discussing moving all the schools to a
six
> day type of schedule, which would necessitate Library becoming a prep
period
> for teacher coverage, which we currently are not. I have been very
> proactive about educating my principal, supervisor, etc. re. the reasons
> this is a bad idea educatinally, from a library management perspective, &
> financially. She's doing it anyway. I may have another opportunity to
> discuss this with her on Monday & our librarian group will be talking to
the
> upper admin. on Monday as well, using a power point presentation. What I
> would like from anyone out there who has gone from a flex or "semi-flex"
> schedule (ie. not prep period) to having to be a prep period, covering
> classes from Day One to the last day of school, are examples of the
negative
> impact this has had on the delivery of your program, service to students &
t
> eachers, & ability to run a professionally maintained library. I have
> searched the archives already.
> Thanks in advance for your help.
