| Summary | This study examined four aspects of district media supervisors in North Carolina as they related to district funding for media resources. Data were collected from a statewide survey of district media supervisors. Results were analyzed by district student enrollment, level of funding, educational regions, and areas of responsibility of media supervisors. The results of this study showed that in 1987-88 school districts in North Carolina employing full-time media supervisors allocated more money for media resources ($8.72 per student) than those school districts having part-time media supervisors ($7.85 per student). The 28 school districts having student enrollments between 5,000 and 9,999 had the highest average allocation for media resources ($9.81 per student). However, only 39.3% of the media supervisors were full-time media. The two educational regions reporting the greatest average per student allocation for media resources (over $9.00 per student) also indicated that over 50% of the media supervisors were full-time. The educational region showing the smallest average per student allocation did not have the smallest percentage of full-time media supervisors. The majority of the school districts responding to the survey allocated between $1.00 and $10.00 per student in state funds for media resources. Approximately 40% of those media supervisors were full-time media. The majority of the media supervisors having other areas of responsibility were assigned to curriculum and instruction. When a comparison of average funding for media resources was made between the school districts having full-time and part-time media supervisors, there was a greater allocation in the school districts having a full-time media supervisor. |
