VI.I. Approve Mentor Teacher Stipends

Rationale

Year 1 Teachers = $1000

Year 2 Teachers = $500

VI.J. Approve additional Preschool Teacher and Instructional Assistant

Rationale

Currently, 69 students are enrolled in the preschool program at Panther Academy, and 40 of these students receive special education services. With an instructional assistant, preschool teachers are able to have 20 students in their classrooms, with current numbers classrooms on average would have 17/18 students. Screenings on 9/1/2023 identified 10 children requiring interventions and potential special education services and preschool instruction, further from this screening event, 2 students enrolled paying tuition for the program. With the current four classrooms, roster averages would be 20/21 placing each teacher at or above capacity. There is also a requirement to maintain open positions for students qualifying for special education services and preschool instruction through First Steps. With current teacher allotment and potential for additional students, the classroom would not have the required excess space to provide opportunities for students identified from First Steps programming.

VI.K. Approve Technology Salvage
