MARY ANN'S MEANDERINGS

APPR, SLOs and Librarians: This letter was sent to the System Directors on May 4th.

Colleagues,

The new State Education Department Guidance on the APPR and SLOs has now been posted at []. This Guidance Document states explicitly "School Librarians are teachers in the classroom teaching service and are, therefore, subject to the new law beginning in the 2012-2013" (page 17).

Hope this is helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best,

Joanne
