HOUSTON — The Houston Independent School District confirmed Tuesday that the 28 schools that are under the New Education System will no longer have dedicated librarians.

The librarians that did work at those campuses will be able to apply for other positions within the district.

Also, some of the libraries at the NES campuses will be repurposed into "team centers" where students who had to be removed from class due to behavioral issues will be placed to watch their class virtually.
