SEND AN EMAIL TO BOE AND ADMIN: All LRHSD students deserve a full time school librarian
Studies show that students with access to a full-time, certified school librarian and a strong school library program have higher academic achievement and are better prepared for college and careers.
Lenape Regional High School students deserve the best preparation for their future college and career plans.
The LRHSD plans to approve a proposal with only three school librarians serving four high schools. Since 2021, LRHSD has lost 70% of its school librarians due to staffing cuts. Further reductions will impair LRHSD's over 6,000 students' ability to engage in research and access support for 21st-century information literacy life skills.
We need to take action NOW to tell the board that Lenape Regional High School District students at every school need and deserve a full-time school librarian to unlock their full potential.
Sign the NJASL/NJLA petition and share it with your neighbors. Most importantly - email the school board and administrators your thoughts about the importance of a fully staffed school library for all LRHSD students. Lastly, come to the board meeting on June 26, 2024, and wear red to show your support.
