SD 45 proposes midyear teaching assistant for overcrowded third-grade bilingual class
Summary
After data showed a third-grade TBE section at North with 25 students (over recommended ratios), the superintendent recommended posting a teaching assistant for the remainder of the year; the board agreed to post the TA and reevaluate staffing for next year.
District administrators told the board that the third-grade TBE (bilingual) class at North currently has 25 students — higher than comparable monolingual sections — and recommended adding a teaching assistant to provide immediate classroom support.
Dr. Greifert described enrollment context and staffing options: hiring a midyear TBE teacher and splitting the class was considered impractical due to timing and space; instead the district proposed adding a TA for the remainder of the year and reassessing staffing for the following school year. The board voiced support for posting the position so that the district can secure candidates and ensure extra instructional support in the classroom.
