[ISLMA-Share] Media Endorsement K-12

I kind of agree. I have my BA in elementary education and six years ago I
went back and got my masters in library science (and did a 6 week student
teaching in secondary ed) in order to be a library teacher in a small town
district that needed a K-12 person. So two weeks ago I find out I'm being
riffed from said district even though my evaluations have all been good and
I can find no reason for it. My union has done great and fought for me but
I was still cut with no reason given. Then I see this and now I wonder if I
wasn't cut because I have been here 3 years and next year would be up for
tenure and the district decided they could get someone cheaper. If they can
hire someone with a bachelors and a K-12 library endorsement then it saves
them money, even if that person is less trained to teach at a different
level.  Meanwhile I am looking for a new job and can't find a library
teaching position in central IL. So I either have to go back to classroom
teaching or leave teaching altogether.  😞
