STAFFING New requests: Additional section / Grade 1 Additional section / Grade 2.1 Music Teacher Reading Teacher Special Education Teacher Coaches

Additional Sections: Rationale / Research Richard Reichardt, policy researcher, specializes in class size reduction, teacher supply, and education finance. Smaller classes (13 – 17 students) in early grades leads to higher student achievement. Class sizes below 20 show achievement moves from 50% to above 60%. Teachers have more time to:  Individualize instruction for each student  Improve classroom management  Cover more material Students are more engaged; less likely to drift from lessons or disrupt others.

Reading Teacher: Rationale / Research Benefits entire middle school student population. Deal with specific student needs based on monthly reading tests and Degrees of Reading Power assessments (broad-based comprehension test). Students will receive  two to three weeks of intense support  on-going support throughout the school year. Remediation/enhancement in reading across curricula. Enhance study skills

Special Education Teacher: Rationale Placement: Canterbury Elementary School  Twenty-eight students with special needs.  Five students have intensive behavior/emotional needs.  Two, requiring additional support, are switching from a half day to a full day program.  Lack of additional onsite support will increase likelihood that three students will require out-of- district placements.
