[LM_NET] HIT: Justifying my position

[Terry Thomas <terry.thomas@CIPLC.NET>]

My original request:

>>My boss just told me that I need to make a presentation to the board to
>>justify my position, essentially. I currently teach middle school
>language
>>arts for 60% of my contract and for the other 40%, I am the school
>>librarian. We are a small PK-12 school of about 120 students.

>>Anyone who can point me in the direction of some good studies or who has
>>some ready-made answers for me?

I was overwhelmed with excellent suggestions about what to say and how to
say it. I want to thank everyone so much for helping me think this
through. I now have more than enough information and resources to get
started. I did try to email everyone personally who wrote to me; a few of
these thank-yous bounced back so I hope a generic "THANK YOU" from here
will suffice.

If anyone would like a copy of the document I created which contains all
the ideas and links I got, please let me know; I'm more than happy to
share.
