District requests 1.2 speech FTE, special-education teacher and additional orchestra teacher; 2 K-6 FTE reduced via retirements
Summary
Administrators proposed adding a full-time special-education teacher at the elementary level, 1.2 FTE in speech services, and an additional orchestra teacher at William Street while absorbing a net two FTE reductions in grades 4—6 through retirements.
Administrators presented a set of staffing requests incorporated into the draft instructional budget, totaling an estimated $110,265 for salary and benefits.
John Armstrong said the district is requesting a full-time special-education teacher for the elementary K–3 level because the incoming kindergarten cohort includes a number of students with high needs and because adding in-district capacity can reduce out-of-district placements. Armstrong said the district prefers to serve students within Lancaster when it can provide required services.
