Teachers choose raises over librarians in Salt Lake

Tanya writes \”This is a follow-up to an earlier story. The Granite School District has opted to move librarians to teacher positions and staff the media centers with library-aides after the teachers union rejected a 1.4% raise as being too low. The story will be available at the Salt Lake Tribune website for the next week\”

Utah seems to hate school librarians. They say few of Utah\’s 40 districts have full-time librarians working in elementary schools, and this district only requires one librarian for every two or three schools.
