Hello SLIDE State Intermediaries and SLIDE Supporters,

A FINAL SLIDE report, based on recently released NTPS school-level data, is
now available at https://libSLIDE.org/publications/schoolswithoutlibrarians
<https://libslide.org/publications/schoolswithoutlibrarians>  Below is the
Press release. Please share widely. Thanks, Deb



*Schools Without Libraries: First School Level Data on the Post-COVID Era*
* A SLIDE Special Report (February 5, 2024)*



It has only recently become possible to assess librarian staffing at school
level, due to the long interval between the two most recent datasets from
NCES’s periodic sample survey of schools. In 2023, the National Teacher and
Principal Survey (NTPS) released long-awaited 2020-21 school-level data—the
first from that survey since 2015-16. These more precise school-level data
provide a clearer picture than ever of the status of U.S. school
librarianship at the beginning of the post-COVID era.

This report reveals that, in the 2020-21 school year, three out of ten
public schools had neither a full-time nor a part-time school librarian—a
status shared by one out of four schools in 2015-16. It also confirms at
school level the existence of continuing—sometimes increasing—equity
differences in access to school librarians associated with region, student
enrollment, locale, grade level, race and ethnicity, and poverty. In
particular, non-white and Hispanic students continue to have less access to
school librarians, as schools with a majority of such students report the
absence of a school librarian at a higher rate than other schools.

There is an urgent need for more research to examine staffing, roles, and
administrative evaluation of school libraries and for school library
advocates and public policy-makers to decide how to respond appropriately.
