Please pardon the cross posting.
The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. Recently we also started tracking the number of FTE school library support staff. For figures and a chart related to the 31-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot:

The information comes from the Oregon Department of Education. As of the last few years, some of the figures were pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card<http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1821>. Note that the staffing chart on PDF page 15 of the 2011-12 report card<http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/annreportcard/rptcard2012.pdf> (and for some previous years) combines figures for school library licensed and support staff. When we pointed out that this could be confusing since there is a separate row for support staff, ODE added a note to the bottom of the chart. We seek clarification from ODE staff about the separate figures for licensed versus support staff.
Questions? Please ask.
Thanks,
