Re: [LM_NET] News for New Jersey Librarians

"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.**"

Does anyone else read this last sentence to mean that there has to be a 
certified specialist guiding the district, but not necessarily one in each 
building?

Clearly the "stuff" has to be in each building. I'm not sure sure a 
specialist has to be. I hope I'm wrong . . .
