Teaching Librarian 15.indd The Teaching Librarian volume 15, no. 1 33 Staffing policies board by board The final Table makes clear the staggering differences between Ontario's school districts. Toronto has 420 elementary teacher-librarian positions while, at the other end of the province, Kenora Catholic has none. Simcoe County has full-time teacher-librarians in both panels, making it unique in the province, while Nord-Est has no one except for part-time library technicians in one panel. Every board has found its own approach to school library staffing, and every board is different. ❚ Notes for Table 5 ◆ "part-time," "full-time" and "mix" refer to status within each individual school ◆ N/A may mean that these positions are not staffed or that there are no schools in that panel Board Te ac he r- lib ra ri an p o si ti o ns in el em en ta ry p an el S ta tu s o f el em en ta ry te ac he r- lib ra ri an s Te ac he r- lib ra ri an p o si ti o ns in se co nd ar y p an el S ta tu s o f se co nd ar y te ac he r- lib ra ri an s S ta tu s o f el em en ta ry lib ra ry t ec hn ic ia ns S ta tu s o f se co nd ar y lib ra ry t ec hn ic ia ns London District Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A Near North 1 1 Niagara 99 0 N/A N/A Niagara Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic 0 N/A 1 N/A Nord-Est 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Northeastern Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Northwest Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Ontario North East 10 0 N/A N/A N/A Ottawa Carleton Catholic 0 N/A 14 Ottawa-Carleton 0 N/A 25 Peel 191 35 N/A Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic 0 N/A 6 Rainbow 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Rainy River 0 N/A 1 N/A Renfrew County 0 N/A 7 N/A N/A Renfrew County Catholic 0 N/A 2 N/A N/A Simcoe County 91 23 N/A N/A Simcoe Muskoka Catholic 42 9 N/A N/A St Clair Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A Sudbury Catholic 0 N/A 1 N/A Superior North Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Superior-Greenstone 0 N/A 0 N/A Thames Valley 157 30 N/A N/A Thunder Bay Catholic 16 2 N/A Toronto 420 105 N/A Toronto Catholic 60 40 N/A Trillium Lakelands 43 7 Upper Canada 1 20 Upper Grand 52 11 N/A Waterloo Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A N/A Waterloo Region 5 16 N/A Wellington Catholic 16 3 N/A Windsor-Essex Catholic 0 N/A 0 N/A York Catholic 81 13 York Region 148 28 Totals 2147 631
