Oklahoma board grants 56 waivers amid school librarian shortage
Original: With school librarians in short supply, the Oklahoma education board begrudgingly grants 56 waivers

The decision highlights growing difficulty in staffing school library positions, raising concerns about how students' access to libraries and reading resources will be maintained in districts unable to hire qualified staff.
Why now: The shortage of certified school librarians in Oklahoma is forcing the state board to make controversial staffing exceptions.
