[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This can vary school by school depending on how principals use their discretionary funds or if it is a specific program or option school. For those schools with multiple specials teachers per subject and/or those receiving music or art more than once a week, I’d ask what is being compromised for that. Less reading specialists or math coaches? Less sped assistants? Etc. -VA teacher [/quote] The number of specials teachers is linked to the number of students in the school. Larger schools have more teachers. Principals can use discretionary funds to fund additional anything- not just specials teachers. I worked in a school where the principal decided that the school needed fewer PE teachers and used the money for something else. Halfway through the year they realized the mistake and had to hire subs a few days a week for the remainder of the year. [/quote]
