[Libs-Or] School Library Support for Beaverton SD & Salem-Keizer SD

[Jennifer Maurer]

As part of the May LTLO, I wrote about the support for the school library programs in the Beaverton and Salem-Keizer School Districts after proposed cuts for next school year were announced.  There's been some recent developments on both fronts.

Last night, "heavy hitters" and students alike testified in favor of keeping the K-8 school librarians in the Salem-Keizer School District while more than 100 supporters rallied before the start of the meeting.

Also last night, the Beaverton School Board Budget Committee took three potential cuts off the budget table, as long as they can find the funding.  One of the restored cuts is that librarians would stay at schools full-time.
