[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have achievement specialist who used to be teachers but now, go around schools and meet with leadership. They could be cut. They have about 60 parent community coordinators who work from home. They could be cut. They have social workers who work with immigrant students,  they should be sent directly to schools and supervised by principals. The social workers work out of Rocking Horse Road Center. Rocking Horse Road Center is another building filled with Central Office staff. They have a Spring Mill office off Kemp Mill Road filled with Central Office. English Manor filled with central office. Some of the Central Office positions are needed, but others are not. Just look to see who gets their PHD while working for Central Office. Those are the people that should be cut. [/quote]

The academic specialists who have to look busy, because Jesus is coming, unnescessarily take up the oxygen level of school leadership; cut them. The PCCs - cut them.  When I have tried to get our assigned PCC involved with particular families, she has NEVER been available, even on our assigned days. Social workers? I teach ELD (ESOL) and I have never seen a social worker at our school. If one exists for our school, they should be housed at our school. Kemp Mill handles DCC activities, such as high school students matriculating into the DCC area. Is this necessary? The Spring Mill office is for NEC, right? If so, same thing.

If we could assign some of these FTEs to SPED support, so that it takes less than 18 months to test for and process IEPs, that would be responsive to families.

I would also assign more staff to the International office. Students are rubber-stamped through and those needing METS assignments do not get them. [/quote]
