The district is constantly recruiting and hiring outstanding substitutes to ensure quality instruction each and every day. Last year, over 270 substitutes worked in Anaheim. In order to attract the best substitutes for Anaheim, the district pays its substitutes a daily rate equal to or higher than the compensation paid in neighboring districts. The James Madsion School library is an integral part of the language learning experiences of every child in our school. The center contains 5,890 books and a variety of other media including magazines, research material, study prints, filmstrips and records.
Students use the library in small groups or individually.
Research and library skills instruction are a large part of our library program. Computers that are connected to the Internet will be available for research during the 1997-98 school year. Textbook selection and adoption schedules have been determined by the State Department of Education. The district follows the state schedule for textbook adoptions and purchases textbooks from the state-approved list. A district textbook committee, composed of teachers, parents, and administrators, reviews all textbook series and, after receiving input from all school sites, recommended a series to the Board of Education for approval.
