MAME is currently asking school library supporters to please respond to the *Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Top 10 in 10 Survey* here <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/top10planreview>. Here is the recommended way to respond: *Please respond to the survey* by adding equitable access to school libraries staffed by certified school librarians in "Other" and then rating it as one of the top 5 priorities. It is important for community members to respond, so please pass on this information to others. If you are a parent, please indicate this on your response. Background information: The new State Superintendent, Dr. Michael Rice, wants to review and update the current Top 10 in 10 plan. In the current Top 10 in 10 Goals and Strategies, item 2.7a is: *a) Ensure that all students have access to libraries and media centers within their school, district, and/or community. Ensure that such resources are appropriately staffed to ensure system integrity. * In the new survey, *providing equitable access to school libraries staffed by certified school librarians* is *not* an option in their list to rate as important; however, there is a place to add suggested priorities in "Other." I believe it will only take a few minutes to fill out the survey. Let me know if you have any questions and spread the word!
