This saddens me so much. I attended elementary and middle school in the Broward
County School District and spent many of my 4th and 5th grade recess periods
learning how to shelve books in the library at Boulevard Heights Elementary. My
brother was also a PE teacher in the same school district until very recently.
Looks like he got out just in time.

I could not believe it when I read the article linked below. Is this really
happening. I can no imagine the impact on students and education as a whole. Is
there anything we can do to support you?

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Principals at dozens of Broward County public schools have given
librarians and teachers of art, music and physical education a choice: Take a pay
cut of almost 50 percent, or take your chances waiting for a job to open up at
another school.
