Tahiliani said the results of 860 surveys showed that students and families want additional bilingual library materials, ways to teach students how to access those materials and to foster a “culture of literacy.” Tahiliani said in one survey response, a parent wrote: “My child misses the library.” “We were aware of the strong desire for school libraries when we started this process, but our surveys and focus groups certainly reaffirmed that sentiment,” said Tahiliani. The next step will be to draft a formal Strategic Plan which will be presented to the community. EHS senior receives national computing award Tahiliani called attention to Everett High School senior Betania Zelalem, who received the National Center for Women & Information Technology’s Award for Aspirations in Computing. She said Zelalem was one of 400 students across the country to receive this distinction.
