WCPSS 2026 Summer Leadership Conference

This session will explore the results from an investigation conducted by Library Media Services and Data, Research, and Accountability into what and how practices and policies affect student engagement with the elementary school library as measured by outcomes such as if a student ever checks out a book and how many books they check out. Through this collaborative partnership and efforts by participating schools, discernable positive outcomes are identified for students across subgroups. As a result, school administrators will learn what action steps they can take to improve library outcomes as they impact students.
