  1. HB 2261—(2010) (d) The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall include allocations for the following types of staff in addition to classroom teachers: (ii) Teacher librarians, performing functions including information literacy, technology, and media to support school library media programs; “At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better.” -Barack Obama “Every school library [should] be staffed by a highly qualified, state certified school library media specialist.” -From the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, July 2007 RCW 28A.320.240School Library Media Programs “There are all kinds of documented studies that show where you have healthy and strong and vibrant libraries with librarians staffing them that students do better, they read better, their test scores go up.” -Arne Duncan • The purpose of this section is to identify quality criteria for school library media programs that support the student learning goals under RCW 28A.150.210, the essential academic learning requirements under RCW 28A.655.070, and high school graduation requirements adopted under RCW 28A.230.090. • (2) Every board of directors shall provide for the operation and stocking of such libraries as the board deems necessary for the proper education of the district's students or as otherwise required by law or rule of the superintendent of public instruction. • (3) "Teacher-librarian" means a certified teacher with a library media endorsement under rules adopted by the professional educator standards board. • (4) "School-library media program" means a school-based program that is staffed by a certificated teacher-librarian and provides a variety of resources that support student mastery of the essential academic learning requirements in all subject areas and the implementation of the district's school improvement plan. • (5) The teacher-librarian, through the school-library media program, shall collaborate as an instructional partner to help all students meet the content goals in all subject areas, and assist high school students completing the culminating project and high school and beyond plans required for graduation. “Known links between stronger school library programs and better Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) scores are confirmed by a recent examination of 2007-08 data on school libraries and 2008 data on students scoring proficient or advanced on CSAP reading.” -Francis, Lance, LeitzauColorado Library Study (2010) www.wlma.org
