Sedley Abercrombie writes: "A collection development plan sounds like a lot of work. It may seem as hopeless as squeezing water out of a rock. But a well-written collection development plan can be a very helpful advocacy tool that can help you garner more support than you might think.
What keeps your administrator up at night? Is it test scores? Is it teacher retention? Is it supporting instruction? If you can answer that question, figure out how you can position the school library program to best support your school’s needs and you will be more likely to garner support for your program."

Sedley generously shared a template to make it as painless as possible to develop your own collection development plan. It's now on my list for my non-student work days at the end of June!
