Board asks staff for ratio-cost analysis and CCR rollout updates tied to October counts
Summary
Members asked staff to perform a needs assessment and return with a recommended counselor ratio and associated cost analysis timed to October enrollment counts; staff agreed and the board also asked for a follow-up on CCR parent-portal rollout within six months.
Board members agreed a needs-assessment should precede any recommendation on preferred counselor ratios. Several members said the board needs data on the current ratios and the projected cost to move closer to national or state-recommended levels; Alan said staff can analyze where the district stands and cost options and return in time for budget conversations.
Staff also described the planned parent-facing CCR tools (a "footsteps"/rollout document) to populate with data after school start; Sam and other staff said the tool could be ready in early August and available through the parent portal, and the board requested an update on the rollout and parent-portal integration within six months.
