The Seattle school district has been warning for about a year that it faces a budget deficit in the 2019-20 school year. Now, the district has laid out its plans for making $39.7 million dollars’ worth of cuts, including removing assistant principals from some schools and reducing some librarians to part time.

A few years ago, I talked with Seattle-area school librarians about their jobs; they were already making do with very little. At what point do our local schools do away with libraries altogether? I don't think we're too far away from that right now.

Reminder: Two of the richest human beings on planet earth live in Washington state. This is unacceptable.
