#SupportSchoolLibraries This & at the state level. VAASL has been fighting for a dedicated library specialist position at the VDoE. ❤️📚📖🏫
Sending cheers and kudos to every school librarian today.
Sending a reminder to folks to demand school librarians for every school. "Good" "Blue" states are some of the worst when it comes to ensuring every school has a trained info professional for their students.

LOL. I thought that claim of Youngkin's was improbable, and made up.
VDOE can’t substantiate Youngkin’s assertion SOLs were 30-40% harder
In response to a public records request from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Virginia Department of Education said: “There are no records from Pearson saying the tests were 30-40% harder.”
