• Support our Elementary Libraries

  • As a member of the Ithaca City School District community, I support a fully staffed elementary library, including a library clerk and certified library media specialist.  The current ICSD budget proposals will have a detrimental impact on our community and for our students.  With this petition, I am asking you to reconsider the cuts made to the library programs in each budget proposal.  Every elementary library should have a library clerk and teacher librarian every day, all day, as this will ensure accessibility for all students and community members, as well as foster a culture of literacy, and help students learn critical information literacy skills.

  • By submitting this form, the following people will be emailed your petition:

     Dr. Luvelle Brown, ICSD Superintendent
