[ISLMA-Share] Certification Question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

This seems kind of funny. After teaching math and science in our middle
school for twelve years, I became our district librarian when my friend
retired. (I spent many hours, and $, taking classes to get my endorsements
for middle school and elementary LMS.) After two years, the district made
budget cuts, cutting my job. I've been in a fourth-grade classroom ever
since. An aide is now in the middle school library on a part-time basis.
There is NO certified librarian serving in our K-12 district. SO, the
answer is probably, "No" to this question. I hate this.
