Texas Libraries
School Library Journal has noticed what is happening here in Texas.
Faced with severe budget cuts, the Texas Education Agency recently laid off more than 200 employees and forced Mary Lankford, the director of library services and winner of the 2002 Grolier Award, into retirement.....It isn't over yet: Ratcliffe says more cuts are expected. The last big layoffs took place in 1995, when the agency - which sets standards for all K?12 schools statewide - was forced to slash its staff by 22 percent. "This tells us that not only are librarians unimportant, but education is way down on the list, too," Lankford says.Yet, Governor Perry keeps calling special sessions to gerrymander the congressional districts. Each of these attempts at party politics wastes money that should have gone to our schools.
