Director of Special Services Renee Karalus summarized recent professional development for paraprofessionals, describing a Bureau of Education and Research (BER) training that staff described as “inspirational and informative” and useful to the classroom. Karalus said the district provided a comprehensive paraprofessional resource handbook and is planning targeted training on data collection, vertical articulation and collaborative time specific to 6th–7th grade transitions.
Karalus also reported on MTSS progress-review meetings and said some students may require Tier 2 services while others could be ready to exit MTSS after Thanksgiving. The district continues to operate Specialized Instruction and the THRIVE program and seeks to embed supports to increase access in typical learning environments.
