Expenditure Controls and Funding for School Libraries
Our main legislative issue for 2010-2011 will once again be expenditure controls. Governor Perdue and Kathy Cox are pushing for legislation that would once again either temporarily or permanently waive media center expenditure controls. Such legislation could mean that school systems would be able to redirect any unspent library media money for this school year as well as state funding for school libraries in the future to other areas leaving school libraries with reduced or little funding. GLMA opposes any change in media material expenditure controls.
