Faculty council raises staffing and classroom-capacity concerns ahead of superintendent transition
Summary
Faculty Council President Jennifer Burke urged the new superintendent to spend time in classrooms and highlighted concerns about increasing student counts, classroom sharing and the need for more social workers and paraprofessionals.
Jennifer Burke, president of the Faculty Council, told the board she continues to gather input from special education teachers and reported concern about student growth and insufficient staff, especially social workers and paraprofessionals.
