Tanya writes \”The Granite School District Board of Education in Salt Lake City, UT has voted to eliminate school librarian positions if the local teachers association requests a pay raise over 1.4%. Have the board members been watching the Sopranos to brush up on their strongarm tactics? This is the classic, \”If you do what I say, I won\’t shoot the girl\” scenario. According to the Board Report, if the teachers association wants higher raises, the 35 librarians will be moved to teaching positions and the media centers will be staffed with media \”assistants\” who will be paid hourly. The claim is that this move will save $1 million dollars (imagine Dr. Evil\’s glee!)
