Cutting Public School Librarians To Expand Vouchers

When the state puts more money into unregulated private school vouchers, increases mandates for public schools, and disregards adequate funding, then you get this.

The Franklin County school board adopted a budget plan last month that moves its school library media coordinators into vacant classroom teaching positions. The district plans to instead staff school libraries with less qualified media assistants for the 2024-25 school year.

Guess where Franklin County is?

Right next to Wake County and Raleigh.

And in Raleigh, this is what they are trying to do.
