District IV Library Staffing in Overview. On the left, 2018-present. On the right, a pie chart of current staffing for District IV schools. 54% of District IV schools have no library service in 2021, leaving 7066 students without access to a school library to learn the inquiry and research skills they will need for college, or even life.
This is the same data presented as raw numbers, as percent of the Board district, and as a pie chart graph. That gray/black half represents 7066 students - as you can see in the table below.

The two images below offer library staffing details by school from 2018-present.
Staffing definitions:
Librarian – holds a school library and teacher certification
Teacher – has teacher certification
Clerk – individuals who are classified as clerks, hourly lecturers, volunteers, etc.
Vacant - HISD declares that this job is available, whether it is posted or not.
No Library – the library has been vacant of staff for at least 2 years, a circulating library with a collection has not been established on a campus or the campus is not served by HISD Library Services (Example: charter schools).

The map should be considered thought-provoking rather than exactly true in 2021. The data is from 2015-16, but the staffing patterns have not changed dramatically. We are working on an updated version (Sept 2021).corner.
