The Canadian School Libraries Board of Directors has written a letter of concern to Manitoba’s Minister of Education regarding the Pembina Trails School Division’s draft budget proposal for the 2021-22 school year. The draft budget proposes to cut all teacher-librarian positions in secondary schools, and reduce teacher-librarian staffing for the middle years.
Just one year ago, CSL was honoured to present the first ever Leading Learning Implementation Award to the Pembina Trails School Division. The award honours and applauds school districts, provinces and territories who have successfully developed and/or enhanced their school library learning commons on a systemic basis founded on the tenets, principles and continuous growth and renewal focus of the five standards of Leading Learning: Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons in Canada.
