If you haven't been following the recent BCSD Board of Education meetings, drastic cuts are planned for the library in the elementary schools. One of the cuts planned is for the elimination of 4 elementary librarians. This would mean only 1 librarian for 5 elementary schools! Research shows that school library programs directly impact student achievement. Our librarians have strong programs that motivate students to be independent, life-long learners. Please sign this petition and urge the district to stop these drastic cuts! Also, come to the next BOE meeting on Wednesday, April 3nd at 6:30pm and/or send a letter to the Superintendent/BOE to voice your concerns! http://poundridge.dailyvoice.com/schools/bedford-elementary-librarians-don-t-close-book-us#
