Hi Everyone-
I received the following from our NJASL leadership about new state regulations:
Special Adoption
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
Programs and Practices to Support Student Achievement
Special Adopted New Rules: N.J.A.C. 6A:13
Adopted: June 2, 2008 by Lucille E. Davy, Commissioner, Department of Education
Filed: June 2, 2008 as R. 2008 d. 181
Authority: P.L. 2007, c. 260
Effective Date: June 2, 2008
Expiration Date: June 2, 2009
Take notice that the Commissioner of Education promulgated new rules to implement
the School Funding Reform Act, P.L. 2007, c. 260.
(h) All school districts shall provide library-media services that are connected to
classroom studies in each school building, including access to computers,
district-approved instructional software, appropriate books including novels,
anthologies and other reference materials, and supplemental
materials that motivate students to read in and out of school and to conduct
research. Each school district shall provide these library-media services under the
direction of a certified school library media specialist.
The rules that require a certified school librarian can be found below:

This regulation is only for one year. NJASL is now fighting to make it a permanent
rule.
