Create/Modify Positions
4.A.a.
Creating instructional aide positions at ELV, CLE, and BPT
Over the last year the preschool staff has worked on child find activities to locate preschool age children which has resulted in an increase of preschool students.
Due to the increased number of preschool students at Early Learning Village (ELV), Collins Lane (CLE) and Bridgeport Elementary (BPT), we need to hire additional instructional assistants to assist with the students' needs and to fully implement all Individual Education Plans (IEPs). At this time, it is recommended to create two 7 hour per day instructional assistant positions at ELV, one 7 hour per day instructional assistant position at CLE, and one 3.5 hour per day instructional assistant position at BPT for the 2016 - 17 school year. These positions would be 135-day positions, prorated for the remainder of the school year.
The funding for these positions will be from KERA funds.
4.A.b.
Create ARC Chairperson Position
Since the Preschool Coordinator's position is interim and is a part-time position, there is a need to create a 50 day ARC Chairperson position to attend First Step meetings and chair Admission and Release Committee (ARC) meetings for preschool students.
The funding for this increase in time will be obtained from KERA.
