Requires every elementary, middle, and high school in New York City to have a school librarian.
The bill amends the education law to mandate that every elementary, middle, and high school in New York City must have a school librarian. If a school fails to appoint a librarian, the teacher or principal teacher will act as the librarian. The trustees or board of education must report the name and address of the appointed librarian to the commissioner of education. This change aims to ensure that all students in New York City have access to a qualified librarian.
