Closing X number of schools but no funding for a librarian?

| Can someone help me understand this? I thought closing the schools will allocate more resources etc. to enrolled schools? How does the logistics work within DCPS. Why hasn't anyone called out DCPS on this. I heard that Catania restored funding for the librarians but did the funds come from DCPS? How could Henderson propose this in the first place. |

Henderson doesn't give a crap about librarians or school libraries. She has been very clear on that. She'd much rather that your child have 15 minutes of Spanish once a week than have access to a well-stocked school library with a trained librarian.
Catania steamrolled her on that this week, thank God. But just watch those bazillion-dollar modernization projects underway. Those schools will open without a single book in the library unless someone steps in and forces them to do otherwise. All part of DCPS's epic blind spot when it comes to making data-driven choices about funding that aren't sexy or gimmicky. Research has long linked improved reading scores with good school libraries. "Blended learning?" Zero data, but guess which shiny object attracted the DCPS magpies' attention? |
