Scheduling Update
Challenge with the high school schedule includes electives.

o There is overcrowding in some high school classes. If needed, advocate for a

larger space to accommodate students.
Challenges with the middle school include math/language arts interventions and
keeping houses pure.
On Thursday, the counselors will be able to focus on balancing class numbers.
Although it appears to be simple, it is a complex process to switch a student from
one period or another.
Students need to complete a half-sheet for scheduling issues. The student will return
to class.

SPED
A large district shift with software.
Middle school students have been pulled for direct support for math and language
arts. One teacher will push in for science and social studies support.
High school has roughly 60 mild-moderate students and 20 center-based students.
o There are two high school special education teachers: Dr. Donna BarneyDicianno and Salha Mishaan.

case manager.
