Requires librarians for schools in New York city
Bill S 7522 mandates that every elementary, middle, and high school in New York City must employ a school librarian. This bill amends existing education law, which currently allows school districts to decide whether to hire a librarian and assigns the role to other teachers if no librarian is present. The change ensures that all K-12 public schools within New York City will have a dedicated school librarian.
