HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Students at dozens of Houston ISD schools will return in a few weeks without librarians and to former libraries that have been converted into disciplinary spaces.

New Superintendent Mike Miles announced earlier this summer that librarian and media specialist positions would be eliminated at the 28 original schools being overhauled under his reform program, New Education System (NES). Both the librarian and media specialist positions are similar, but librarians typically have an advanced degree in library science.

HISD said the 57 additional schools that opted into NES will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

"We understand the significance of certain programs associated with libraries and will strive to maintain those valuable offerings," the statement said.
