I will cover some of these materials below, but in sum the changes in relation to Special Education and English Language Learners mostly concern schedules and professional development; the revised
budget and enrollment model call for a slightly smaller school, lower (lead) teacher / student ratios, higher special education teacher ratios (and lower special education assistant ratios),
designates Bilingual Resource Teacher and Specialist allocations (these were folded into other
categories in the January version), a slightly smaller school, and a 5 year
budget shortfall that increases from $ 58,681.36 to $ 516,157.01; the Data Update does little but relabel unrealistic «Goals» as «Aspirations.»
Budgeting is one of the best ways to save money, and it's so simple — create
categories, set aside a certain amount of money for each
category, and then only spend what has been
designated for that account.
