[CASL-L] Bridgeport vote on library position cuts

[Michelle Luhtala]

Hi just want to share this news from Bridgeport:

*Last Wednesday night, the Bridgeport BOE voted to cut 1/2 of our
district's school library media specialists. It failed. The original
proposal was, of course, to cut all 23.6 school library positions. Union
leadership is aware that this proposal could end up being on the table
again. *

*There is a rally against these and other outrageous budget cuts being
planned for tomorrow night at 6:30 at Bridgeport Aquaculture, ahead of the
BOE meeting. I have attached a link to a Facebook post about it below.
Could you please share it with any area contacts? We hope folks will show
up and wear red to protect public school LMS’s and other teachers. *
