MCPS Media Assistants are among the proposed budget cuts currently under consideration by the County Council. These positions are essential to our schools and support far more than just the library.
Media Assistants help students daily by:
📚 Supporting classroom learning and library access
💻 Troubleshooting technology and managing Chromebooks
🖨️ Assisting with printers, devices, and school technology
📖 Organizing books, makerspace materials, and library programs
👩🏫 Supporting staff, substitutes, and daily school operations
Cuts to these positions could reduce student access to library services, instructional support, and educational resources.
Please consider advocating by contacting Superintendent Thomas Taylor and the MCPS Board of Education. Email addresses and a sample script are included in the graphic above.
