Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

I moved to the Dallas, Texas area in 2009 after spending the last fourteen years as the high school librarian at Dorman High School in Roebuck, South Carolina. It was sad to leave such a great school but I was fortunate to quickly find another librarian position in Dallas. During my second year in north Texas, I took a library position closer to home in a small middle school and love the opportunities of helping this community emerge into the 21st Century.

    Greetings Sue,

    I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

    Sincerely,

    Mike McQueen

    If you have maintained your certification (check online at www.tea.state.tx.us) you are already highly qualified. You can go to the TLA website at www.txla.org and join the TLC mailing list for school librarians and you will hear of job openings. Marilyn Beaird is the library coordinator at Lewisville ISD (which includes Flower Mound, Highland Village, The Colony and several other smaller towns) and she will know of upcoming vacancies.

    "Highly qualified" per Texas law means that you have passed the Texas certification exam or otherwise meet the NCLB "highly qualified" definition.

    Sounds like you have been a busy little beaver on your days off! I have worked on my 720 paper and a presentation I am doing for the English teachers at my internship school. I was supposed to be there Monday and Tuesday so now am going to have to reschedule those days. I'll be in touch mid-month if I am going to be able coming to visit your LMC.
