TARGET: Elementary libraries for release time

[Sue Kettler <suek3@YAHOO.COM>]

Greetings all
Happy Halloween

I was approached today by a member of our school
districts negotiations committee.  They want to
consider using the elementary library time (currently
fixed) as release time for the teachers.  The problem
with this, which I immediately explained, is that we
do not have full time librarians in all of the 10
elementary schools in our district.  This seems a
major drawback to me!!  She asked if I would ask
around about this, so here goes...

For those of you in the St. Louis area, are you used
for release time?

Can anyone give me plusses for using library time for
release time (assuming there are enough librarians)

Can anyone give me the minuses of such a plan?

Thanks in advance
