[CASL-L] Information sought re: DRG

[Jessica Dalton]

To add to what Kate said, the BOE sided with us but also used money from
the Choice program/state funding to save the position.  We currently are
1:1 (four elementary, two middle, and one high school).  But it is worth
mentioning that we used to have two media specialists at the high school
and one position was sneakily eliminated through retirement ("attrition").
