[ISLMA-Share] Possible position change advice needed

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I need some advice. 

I am the middle school librarian in a school with a little less than 400 students in grades 5-8. The elementary librarian will be leaving at the end of the school year. My superintendent has approached me about the possible change in my position to be the district librarian with a library aide at each school working underneath me. Neither school has an aide at the time being, so both of these would be new positions. I would then be responsible for both schools. He would also be creating a new position of tech coach. This person would be working at both schools and would be working closely with me. It sounds like he is going to take my opinion on the matter seriously when he makes this decision, but I'm not really sure. 

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I see both positives and negatives about this change. Any advice you all could give me would be more than welcome. 

Thanks so much!
