Re: [LM_NET] GEN: National Board Certified Librarians / Take One!

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

I have considered it, but here in Georgia unless you already have it, there
is no longer any financial incentive for becoming national board certified.
Grandfathered in for teachers who have already finished it or are in the
pipeline but no one else will receive any monetary compensation for National
Board Certification.That has been taken away, so I'm working on my
doctorate.
