PARA II Staffing
Dear Members,
According to Dr. Jane Quinnville, there were ten special education paras that were reassigned this week. I asked what the funding formula was for this and this was the response from Dr. Holmes:
"I understand you have a question in regards to how paraprofessionals are staffed as a part of special education services outside of those paraprofessionals that are one-on-one with a student as called for in an IEP. The formula is that Para II staffing is based on Level II points (more than 50% of the time in special education) for every 20 points or 10 children at this level a Para II is assigned to the school. Para II's work with groups of students and are not specifically attached to individual teachers."
Thank you!
