"I think it's pretty ridiculous. When I grew up and went to the library, I needed direction on what I may have wanted to read or books I should've paid attention to based on my interest," an HISD parent said.
New Superintendent Mike Miles announced earlier this summer that librarian and media specialist positions would be eliminated at the 28 original schools being overhauled under his reform program, New Education System (NES). Both the librarian and media specialist positions are similar, but librarians typically have an advanced degree in library science.
HISD said the 57 additional schools that opted into NES will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
