Will be sent this week so all staff can see the SGB Agenda By Friday, a box will be in the office

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 Barney-Dicianno and Salha Mishaan.

o Concern is that high school students need credit. IEPs are coming. It is a longer process than anticipated. If schedule changes needs to be made for students with Special Needs, contact their

case manager. o 6th: Alex Saltzman o 7th: Regina Martinez o 8th: Shirley Richard o 9th: Salha Mishaan o 10th-12th: Dr. D o Center-based:

Multi-Intensive Middle School: Dr. Adrienne Bryant Affective Needs and Multi-Intensive High School: Frannie Fallon

As a school, we are short three paraprofessionals. It is important to follow the discipline ladder for all students. Utilize Tawrence

White as a resource for Restorative Justice. It is possible for teachers to pull rosters of students who are identified as ELD or

SPED. UIP- Plan of Action

Wednesday Meeting Plan

10 minutes for SGB updates at the faculty meeting o Scheduling:

High school is overcrowded. The counselors are working on it. Advocate for a space if needed.

Students will complete a half-sheet at the counseling center. Graduation requirements/Band/ELD/SPED are the scheduling priorities. Students will be returned to class after completing the form.

All students should have their schedule. If a student says they have an off-period throughout the day, check their schedule. Seniors are allowed to have off-periods.

o SPED Issues with SPED identified students need to be referred to their case

manager. Students should still follow the discipline ladder. Students with special needs can be pushed into classes without a para. Accommodations are being worked on and will be given to teachers as

soon as they are available. o ZAP
