The Media Center Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not to Survive! by Mary Alice Anderson Lead Media Specialist, Winona Middle School, Winona, Minnesota MultiMedia Schools • May/June 2002 Let's examine practices that illustrate how not to survive. Only when we face the "fatal errors" that can be made can we get to higher ground. H ave you noticed that there are fewer media specialists than in the past? In an Iowa district, full-time elementary media specialists were replaced with half-time media specialists; in other schools clerical time was reduced. In a large Illinois school district, cuts were supposed to be made at all levels, but the only cuts actually made impacted the media centers at each building. A media specialist who left was not replaced. In a Southern state, elementary media specialists were given additional teaching assignments such as teaching reading an hour and a half a day, yet were listed as full-time media specialists in the building. Almost an entire district media department, including its director, was eliminated in a large Minnesota district a year ago. In another district, full-time media program paraprofessionals have replaced media specialists in all elementary schools. This spring even more media specialist positions in Minnesota are in danger because of state funding limitations and the failure of many school districts to pass operating fund initiatives. What's Happening? Why?

Flexible Scheduling Flexible Scheduling of the Library Media Center: Why is it critical to the entire instructional program? Flexible Scheduling Helps Students: "To promote students achievement of learning goals, connections between content learning and information skills must be interwoven into every level of student learning. Students need many carefully planned opportunities to access, use, and evaluate information in all subject areas and in formats." Information Power 1998 Flexible Scheduling Benefits Teachers: "Information-based learning is essential to a productive and satisfying life, and the library media program will continue to have a critical responsibility for preparing students to participate fully in the global learning community." Information Power, 1998 Flexible Scheduling Gives Library Media Specialists: "In a student-centered school library media program, learning needs to take precedence over class schedules, school hours, student categorizations, and other logical concerns. To meet learning needs, the programs resources and services must be available so that information problems can be resolved when they arise." Information Power, 1998

Nebraska SPRING Purposes Objectives Strategies Outcomes ... Collaborative Team Nebraska Parent Information and Resource Center (PIRC) From 1997 through 2002, Nebraska SPRING (Statewide Parental Resources and Involvement to Nurture Growth) was the designated Parent Information and Resource Center (PIRC) for the State of Nebraska. Funded by the United States Department of Education as part of the Goals 2000 initiative, Nebraska SPRING was dedicated to serving Nebraska parents and families. FRCCN was one of five collaborative partners working to make Nebraska SPRING a true statewide PIRC. Nationally, there were 58 Parent Information and Resource Centers (PIRCs). Support and technical assistance is provided to the PIRCs by the Parental Assistance Coordination Center (PACC). Information on the different PIRCs, including access to their websites, is available through PACC Although Nebraska SPRING no longer receives funds through the US Department of Education, many of the original PIRC activities were incorporated by the original Nebraska SPRING partners and subgrantees. The Nebraska SPRING Core Team continues as an ad hoc advisory board, meeting as required.
