[quote=Anonymous]Principals union proposed solution:

"Instead of the current design, which has 11 students in virtual learning all day, with a non- instructional adult supervising behavior, we propose that Elementary Schools be permitted to design Student Support Centers, aligned to the needs of their most vulnerable students and to their staffing capacity, supplemented by (in order of assignment priority) contractual, central office, and secondary staff when necessary. In this model Elementary principals and teachers would be able to identify the students who are furthest from opportunity, as well as the children of DCPS children and staff who are working in person, and those students would then form the basis of the design. Some of the centers might be virtual learning pods, but there are other possibilities as well. By expanding this model, and allowing collaboration with secondary principals to provide secondary
staff both instructional and non-instructional who are willing to support, we will be able to provide an educational experience that truly results in learning for those most in need. For the staffing model, contractual staff, central office staff, and as a last option available secondary staff should be put into a pool, and the numbers available should be made known to Elementary principals, so that they can create the best possible staffing pattern for their Student Support Centers.

As a part of this, we propose to create feeder pattern collaborations, through which the middle and high schools in each feeder pattern, would collaborate with the elementary schools, to provide staffing support as needed to the in-person instructional classes, as well as the Student Support Centers.

This could be accomplished on a relatively short timeline, since elementary schools have already created master schedules which indicate their needs. There should be lists of available contracted staff and central office staff, and working closely with secondary principals and instructional superintendents, we should be able to implement that innovation early in the second advisory."

What do you think of this proposal?
