KC school board votes to keep 24 librarians on the books

SomeOne writes: Some news that the Kansas City Board of Education spared 24 librarians, as well as teachers’ extra pay, from the budget ax Wednesday night.


With little discussion, board members voted unanimously to amend the budget approved two weeks ago and increase spending by $2.4 million. The board restored the librarians’ positions and about $842,0000 to the Career Ladder, which offers teachers additional pay for tutoring students and continuing their own educations.
