Amazing how creative these school district bureaucrats can be when angry local lumpencitizens are raising holy hell and breathing down their necks, innit?
We should chalk this up as "progress," we guess, although when the next Ogden School Board election rolls around in November of 2014, we shouldn't forget the names of the folks who ushered in this crisis, yes?

Progress? I wonder. According to the article, the seven new librarians won't be working in the schools. They're being hired to develop a new instructional media policy for the district, and to devise a training program for the staff assistants who are replacing the 20 real librarians in the schools. And notice the new panel will also provide a little protective cover for the Superintendent: "Smith said any decision about assigning librarians to specific schools would be one the seven would make."
So, instead of 20 real librarians in the schools, he:s hired seven for one year to devise a way to train less qualified (and so lower paid) part timers to do the 20's jobs as best they can.
Progress?
I wonder how many administrative support specialists will be hired to supervise the seven newly funded librarian/media specialists?
