I'm not a school librarian, so I'm not familiar with the organization, but for those looking for proof of the need for a professional librarian position in a school, see below.
Michelle --- National Forum on Information Literacy (NFIL) POLICY STATEMENT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CERTIFIED SCHOOL LIBRARIANS CAREER AND COLLEGE READINESS implies that high school seniors have an advanced ability to find, use, and communicate information in various contexts. However, employers and colleges report a lack of 21st century skills related to information literacy in new employees and first-year students. They address this deficit at great cost through orientation programs and remediation, while the pre-K-to-secondary educational system should be the locus for the progressive development of these abilities. School librarians are those best qualified to partner with classroom teachers in cultivating these abilities in students; classroom teachers do not learn how to teach these competencies during teacher preparation programs.
