[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this section point to the (DCUM rumored) bullying problem?

By expanding what we provide and improving on our current approaches, we will improve our work to support emotional development and behavior. We are negotiating to increase our onsite mental health support from three days a week to five days a week. In order to evaluate and improve on our approach to Climate and Culture, Ms. Kathryn Conners, founding teacher, will be assisting with the coordination of Climate and Culture for the remainder of this school year. Her work in this temporary role will allow the school to prepare for Topaz Terry’s transition from her role as Director of Climate and Culture and firmly establish the structures and systems we need to support our students’ emotional development and positive behavior. 
 To bring deeper support and experience to our rising 3rd and 4th grade cohorts, we are restructuring our 3rd and 4th grade classrooms to fewer larger classes. This step, while a significant change, will mean we will have the resources to add support for intervention (language, behavior, and academic), special education, and curriculum development in each classroom and across the grades. 
 In 3rd grade, we will have classrooms of approximately 24 students each and two dedicated teachers. Two classrooms will be piloting a co-teaching model with two full time teachers - a general education lead and Special Education lead in each. The third class will have a lead teacher and a full time fellow. [/quote]

Yes it does.  My child is not in the problem classroom, but the problem is real.  I think this is a good move to hire two full time teachers, especially a special education lead to address the classroom behavior issue.[/quote]
