I wonder, as they increase class size, will our next year’s district report card get worse overall grades?
No, we do not expect that to happen. Overall, class size has been increased by two students. At the elementary level, student-to-teacher ratios are 24:1 for K-2 and 26:1 for grades 3-5. We have brought efficiency to the staffing process, so that there is equity based on number of students and needs, such as ELD and school improvement status.
When will parent involvement assistants be receiving laptops?One of the goals of the Digital Advantage is to equip PIAs with laptops. At this time, funding is not in place for that component of the program. What we can do now is provide access to a desktop computer as well as technology training.
Since weight is such a district issue, why not encourage lapband/gastric bypass surgeries as an insurance option?
Adding this as an option to the insurance plan would result in a significant increase in cost.
