We oppose the budget cuts to needed elementary school services, such as the reduction of elementary librarian positions at Integrated Arts Academy and Sustainability Academy, to half-time. The reduction of these services will adversely affect students, and Burlington as a whole.
Why is this important?
We cannot maintain literate children and do well on assessments if library services are cut. New American students cannot learn English effectively if their library services are cut. All elementary schools in the district need full time librarians.
