Straw Poll - Library Essential Services Ranking - Sonora High School

At the request of the district, the FJUHSD Library curriculum Commitee has met to determine the "top 12" library services that foster student academic achievement. The list of such services is below.

Please rank these services in importance, 1 is highest and 12 is lowest. If you prefer, you may rank only your top 5.

Please take this straw poll just once. The poll does not discuss staffing, only library services. Staffing will be based on what best meets the essential services as determined by input from all stakeholders.
