Each center shall be provided with a collection of print and electronic information, instructional equipment and other learning resource materials to promote a positive impact on student learning. Print and non-print materials, audio-visual equipment and supplies, and other instructional aids will be catalogued in a manner that will enable such materials, equipment, and supplies to be accessible to students and teachers throughout the school year. These resources will support the district’s school improvement plan and student mastery of the essential academic learning requirements in all subject areas. Library media staff shall collaborate as instructional partners and informational specialist with teachers to develop student’s information and technology skills. Staff shall assist students in meeting content goals in all subject areas and assist high school students with graduation requirements, specifically the culminating project and the high school and beyond plans.
