[LM_NET] Mike Huckabee's support of school libraries

["D'Anne Easton" <eastond@CONWAYCORP.NET>]

Hey Ada,

I'm a school librarian in Arkansas, but am not the one to answer your question 
intelligently.

In 1984 Governor Bill Clinton brought about sweeping school reforms which meant 
every public school had to have a certified librarian.  A couple years ago, with 
Huckabee as governor, legislation passed that meant media specialists could not 
have duty and their time devoted to scheduled class time (release time for 
teachers) had to be limited to a certain percentage of the school week.

Here is his email address if you are interested in pursuing this:

mike.huckabee@mail.state.ar.us 


School media specialists in Arkansas are not currently dealing with the scary 
possibilities our colleagues in some states are facing.

But, then again, I am eligible for retirement in two years and may just be 
blissfully ignorant. :)
