Any chance of it actually passing? If I am reading this correctly, it
mandates that schools report annually whether or not they have a library
and if it is staffed by a librarian (no mention of 'credentialed'
librarian, but perhaps that is covered somewhere else in law, defining the
term to mean credentialed or degreed). It does not *require* schools to
have a library or a librarian, just that they state annually if they do or not.
Those LM-Netters who are in the Lone Star State: what are the "
indicators adopted under Sections 39.051(b)(1) through (7)", and what
happens if a school does not meet them?
This certainly would be more than we have in California.
