There are tons of qualified media specialists that have been let go over the last few years. Why not start there? Because it's not a priority. That's why. <br /><br />It's been a vicious cycle for librarians/media specialists in Duval County.

I distinctly remember him saying that the state could take over the school district if they used any of the required 3% reserves. Maybe you want don't want an elected school board, maybe you want Rick Scott or Gary Chartrand to hand pick the school board, but I think it is a pretty good idea that they aren't going to put themselves in a situation where they could be taken over. Being critical of them is fine, but don't be critical of them wanting to stay democratically elected or financially responsible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
