The library supporters will march from Gratts School to LAUSD headquarters to deliver more than 5,000 letters to the school board from parents, students and community members who oppose the severe cuts LAUSD libraries are facing. Their message: All students need school libraries to remain open and staffed with trained library personnel. There are approximately 1, 068,000 students including almost 396,000 adult school students enrolled in the LAUSD system. Covering an area of 710 square miles LAUSD has over 1,300 schools including among others elementary, middle, high schools, and adult education and regional education centers in its jurisdiction, and while we\u2019ve heard much about teacher layoffs and other cutbacks in educational programs such as art and music not much has been said about the many other critical staff and their fight to maintain their jobs or even an acknowledgement of their tremendous contribution to the education system. <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nGUESTS: Juan De Varona, a Web Developer with LAUSD. He has worked for the district for more than nine years; Frances (Franny) Parrish, a Library Aide at Lowman Special Ed School in North Hollywood. She has worked for the district for four years and was an advocate for 17 years prior to joining the district.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 14 at 11 a.m. school library aides and their co-workers will be protesting library cuts.
