SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALISTS

Where do we fit? Specialists positions listed in COMAR 13A.12.03 which include:

guidance counselors, media specialists, pupil personnel workers, reading specialists, reading teachers, pyschometrist, school psychologist, therapists (occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, or audiologists), school social workers, and gifted and talented education specialists are NOT included in this regulation.
