Unfortunately the discarding of librarians and other "specialty"
teachers has been going on for decades. I can remember growing up in
California and one year having a librarian, the next year not.
Several years ago our school was adding a music teacher. That year a
nearby school system deleted all their elementary music teacher
positions--They needed to find funds for a new football field. While
our school benefited from an large pool of readily available music
teachers, I mourned the education missing from those other schools.
