Schools with no librarians?
Harlem mom Diana Tinsley is frustrated. Last year Tinsley filed a Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, request, with the city's Department of Education to find out which of the 16 middle and high schools in the district staffed librarians. Tinsley and the rest of the Community Education Council were concerned the city was violating state regulations that require librarians at certain schools, and that a lack of librarians could be hurting literacy levels.
