More will follow, Stein Day warned.<\/p>\n<p>She apologized for the uncaring way that the school board notified the 25 support staff it intends to shed, including 18 part-time documentation technicians who serve 37 elementary school libraries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t see the letter until after the fact,\u201d she explained to the angry crowd. \u201cI agree it was cold and not what I would like to have seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Cut from the top instead<\/b><\/p>\n<p>She told Hudson resident Jonathan Penney that the firings will save the school board $400,000.<\/p>\n<p>Penney condemned the bottom-up cuts, suggesting that the real problem is that school boards are top-heavy and need to save money on overhead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou found librarians the least valuable in the education process,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not how the decision was made,\u201d Stein Day replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course it is,\u201d Penney retorted. \u201cWhy not merge with another school board?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the cuts, LBPSB will still employ two full-time staff in elementary school libraries, as well as a full-time person in each of its 12 high school libraries, Stein Day said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we get the finalized budget rules from the Education Ministry, some other positions could be abolished,\u201d she acknowledged. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at all levels of management as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stein Day wondered aloud whether the educrats in Quebec City have an inkling of the disruption the changes that they are imposing will entail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are [almost] no pedagogues left in the [Education] Ministry,\u201d she noted. \u201cThe only one left is assistant deputy minister Chantal Beaulieu. Do they really understand the impact of these changes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To help fill the void left in elementary school libraries, LBPSB plans to rely more heavily on parents who volunteer there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The remaining full-time documentation technicians] could also provide services to the schools that are losing them,\u201d Stein Day said. \u201cIt might be [reduced to] one day every two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Independent Association of Support Staff president Anita Nenadovich regretted that the school board has put parents at odds with the interests of LBPSB\u2019s qualified library technicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are not 20th century librarians who stamped your loan card,\u201d the support staff union leader explained in an interview. \u201cStudents now have to do research online from a very early age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLibrary technicians are at the heart of integrating 21st century education technology with the curriculum,\u201d Nenadovich emphasized. \u201cElectronic books; book club blogs; purchasing and tracking systems; and collect and research material for literacy programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To train volunteer parents\u00a0to do that\u00a0could be\u00a0\u201cto replace our library staff with free labour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The support staff\u2019s collective agreement stipulates that the school board can\u2019t use volunteers or trainees if that would entail the layoff, demotion or reduction in working hours or abolishment of an employee\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government is devastating support to students and teachers by placing the burden of their austerity measures on the backs of our children\u2019s education,\u201d Nenadovich concluded. \u201cWhere is this going to end?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny one of the bureaucrats at [the Quebec Education Ministry] gets paid more than my entire council,\u201d added Stein Day. \u201cThe compensation for my council is $110,000 a year. No benefits. When you add in the value of their pension, I don\u2019t think that a single person working at the [the Quebec Education Ministry] gets paid less than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LBPSB submitted its budget proposal to the Education Ministry June 1. Following Monday\u2019s council meeting,\u00a0<i>The Suburban<\/i>\u00a0asked Stein Day whether LBPSB will have the information that it needs from Quebec City to pass its austerity budget at LBPSB\u2019s next council meeting, June 29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might not be before the end of the summer,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Note: Following publication online of an earlier version of this report, Anita Nenadovich noted that the fifth-to-last paragraph ought to have read &#8220;To train volunteer parents&#8230;&#8221; and not &#8220;To train volunteer students&#8230;&#8221; That paragraph was immediately corrected\u00a0but the error inadvertently again found its way into the print edition. She had also clarified her statement in the third-to-last paragraph, explaining that documentary technicians who work in LBPSB libraries provide &#8220;support&#8221; to teachers and not &#8220;guidance&#8221;, which the\u00a0print edition of the newspaper also ought to have reflected.
