[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]APS doesn't allocate staff according to a specific student-in-need:special teacher ratio.[/quote]

Umm that is incorrect. ELL and SPED students are staffed per population at every APS school. That is why a school like DES has one ELL teacher and a school like Carling Springs can have 8+.  Same with special education staffing. It is based on services required for the number of students, absolutely.[/quote]

By [b]enrollment[/b][u].  Not a (for example) 5:1 student in need:teacher ratio.  How can you assign by a specific ratio for special education if you haven't evaluated everyone? Like schools over 500 get 2 RTGs rather than 1.  But a school of 700 with 2 RTGs does not have the same per student ratio as a school with 560 with 2 RTGs.  Carlin Springs, Randolph, Barcroft, Ashlawn, Long Branch may all have different numbers of ESOL teachers; but ask the teachers at each school how many students they are each responsible for.  It's not the same.[/quote]
