River East Transcona School Division, in which roughly 17,000 students are registered, notified employees about “restructuring” plans for kindergarten-to-Grade 12 libraries last week. Affected library technicians — whose current duties include undertaking clerical work, cataloging materials and helping students sign out books — have been given the option to retire, resign or apply for a modified position. There are currently 42 positions in charge of managing daily operations in book and media centres across RETSD — or 34 full-time equivalent library technicians, given some employees have multiple part-time jobs.
