I am looking for advice about flexible scheduling in an elementary school library.  My school is preK-4, library is a special, and we are on a fixed schedule.  But I am on the strategic planning committee for the district and would like to push for getting library out of the specials rotation, and for grades 3 and 4 to be on a flex. schedule, so that I could collaborate with teachers on research projects, among other things.  Any advice out there on how to sell this to the administration?  If you are on a flexible schedule and are willing to talk, I'd love to hear more about your experience.  Or please point me to material I could read to learn more about making this work.
