Recommendation that the LES media specialist oversee a district team to provide services to students and staff related to media/library services.

The funding works like this:

District Media Specialist:  Would receive traditional LES Media salary plus $2,500 stipend for being District Media Specialist.

High/Middle School Instructional Assistant:  Would receive an additional 10 days of contract work (around $800 total) to maintain and operate the library.

Digital Learning Coach: Would receive traditional teacher salary plus 10 extended days.  This person will be leading digital professional learning, overseeing Help Desk Technology and Support, and teaching 6 bells of classes in our teaching rotation.  These classes will be small in nature due to enrollment and complexity.
