<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I would be very interesting to compare the horrendous decline in school librarians with the concomitant decline in SAT and OAKS scores. If it shows what I think it will show, that could be a real tool to getting librarians back in schools, books in kids hands, and more readers in the early grades.<div><br></div><div>Tony<br><br>**tony_greiner@hotmail.com**<br><br><div>> From: libs-or-request@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> Subject: Libs-Or Digest, Vol 122, Issue 32<br>> To: libs-or@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:30:38 -0700<br>> <br>> Send Libs-Or mailing list submissions to<br>> libs-or@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> libs-or-request@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> libs-or-owner@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of Libs-Or digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> You can examine full text of list messages in the relevant month's archive at:<br>> <br>> http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/pipermail/libs-or/<br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.

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:<br>> <br>> School Year<br>> <br>> FTE Library Support Staff<br>> <br>> FTE Licensed Librarians<br>> <br>> Percent Change from 1980 to 2011<br>> <br>> No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian<br>> <br>> Percent Change from 1980 to 2011<br>> <br>> 1980-81<br>> <br>> n/a<br>> <br>> 818<br>> <br>> n/a<br>> <br>> 547<br>> <br>> n/a<br>> <br>> 2010-11<br>> <br>> 682<br>> <br>> 308<br>> <br>> n/a<br>> <br>> 1,822<br>> <br>> n/a<br>> <br>> 2011-12<br>> <br>> 697<br>> <br>> 203<br>> <br>> -75%<br>> <br>> 2,763<br>> <br>> +405%<br>> <br>> <br>> 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.<br>> <br>> Questions?
