Summer Learning Academy: Librarians needed
2014 summer positions are now available for librarians to apply on the staff
internal postings portal. See Notes from Nancy for the listing of the sites. Two
things you should know: 1) Base pay is $486 per week ($561 for service over
8 years) 2) Librarians can job share. This means that librarians are allowed
splitting the 6 week session per site OR that the combined elementary
positions can be split for 10 hours per site each week. (Olson/Shorewood;
Kennedy/Glendale; Sandburg/Lapham). Call or email Nancy if you have questions.

Common School Fund Estimate for 2013-14
Just wanted you to know that the estimate from the state to the district for
Common School Fund came in recently and is quite a bit lower than 5 years
ago. CSF is based on the city-wide census of all children ages 4-20. In the
last 5 years, our Madison census has gone down over 3,000 children.
Library Leadership Team (LLT) 2013MMSD’s estimate this year is almost $77,000 less than just two years ago.
