"HOUSTON – Houston Independent School District will be eliminating librarian
positions at 28 schools this upcoming year and utilizing some of the libraries
as ‘Team Centers” where kids with behavioral issues will be sent, the district
announced.

This comes as part of the new superintendent Mike Miles reform program, New
Education System (NES). Currently, there are a total of 85 schools that have
joined Miles’ program, and of those, 28 campuses will lose their librarians.
The district said they will have the opportunity to transition to other roles
within the district.

The remaining 57 NES schools’ librarians will be assessed on a case-by-case
basis, according to the district."

real."
