[LM_NET] Gen: mistake in SLJ Extra Helping re VA staffing

[Melissa Techman <mtechman@K12ALBEMARLE.ORG>]

Hi, everyone, I just saw this today and wanted to post it, in case, some of you are 
very envious of required Library staffing level. Dr. Bucher of ODU was probably 
misquoted when she says:
"... Bucher adds that the state requires full-time certified media specialists in 
all K–12 schools."
Actually the VA Stds. of Quality require a full-time librarian if enrollment is 
over 300. If the enrollment drops by even a few students, it is up to the 
discretion of the principal. This is precisely the point that I and many others 
spoke about at State Hearings this fall.

This was part of an announcement of an online program to accredit school librarians 
for underserved regions.
