Being on a fixed schedule doesn't mean you are safe from cuts.  I was just
called in to the administration office yesterday to tell me that my position
is being looked at next year for a possible cut.  I provide "release" time
for teachers in two buildings - K-5.  The sad thing is that a few years ago
our high school librarian retired and she wasn't replaced.  I became the
"district" librarian serving 4 buildings K-12.  I have no time scheduled to
go to any other building as the two building fixed schedule that I have
keeps me tied up all day.  I shared my concern at the meeting last night
that the district would have no librarian if my position was cut and was
told that they understand my concern but from a financial standpoint they
need to make cuts next year.  

The good news is that I would still have a job - I can bump into a classroom
teaching position.  However, I enjoy working in the library.  And I'm good
at what I do - I don't want to leave the library. It's hard to stay positive
so you have any positive suggestions or thoughts I'll take 'em!

Thanks for listening, everyone.
