SC School Library Supervisors Members
SC School Library Supervisors Group Members
Supervisors Contact List for 2023-24 - Our desire is to have an official contact for each school district. The goal of the School Library Supervisors' Group is to have each district represented by a district administrator or representative school librarian who will represent their district and share information from the Supervisors Group, SCDOE, and SCASL with all the Librarians within their district.
Do you have any updates or changes to the contact list? Please open the Supervisors Contact List for 2023-24 and edit it with your corrections or email your changes to the Supervisors Chair at SCASLsupervisors@gmail.com.
