Metro Pittsburg PA area only

[Jim McGinnis <jmcginni@VANSD.ORG>]

Hello!

Currently, I am a Media Specialist in Vancouver, WA. and need a few =
questions answered by my media brethern in Pittsburg.

I have the MLIS degree from ALA accrediated Univ., my question is:  Do =
most districts require media Sp. to have the degree for a media position =
or are they allowing teachers with 15 hours to receive the media endorsemen=
t and move into positions w/ out the grad. degree?=20

Next, How about  hiring practices...are local districts willing to hire =
"veterans" with 20 years experience who still have many good years left to =
go  or are they hiring new graduates to save money?

Finally, What's the MS supply like for the metro area? Jobs to be had? =
Shortage?

Thank-you in advance for your help, this is the only way someone from out =
here can consider making a move to your fair city.
