The Walls admin proposed cutting 1 counselor (Walls has 4) and 1 world language teacher. The LSAT requested more options.

So LSAT voted and most supported cutting two teachers. Admin could have overruled LSAT, but did not. But this was not the option admin wanted.
They have 1 Special Ed Teacher.
How could they cut this position?
By having the staff with dual credentials provide special ed services. It would have worked. There are several teachers at the school who are dual certified.
When the Special Ed teacher went out on family leave - NO ONE was providing special education services. The school chose to be in non-compliance as opposed to having services provided by dual certified teachers.
I am surprised that they exist because the AP at the time was saying - so sorry there are no options
Those teachers teach a full course load so no, they wouldn’t have had the capacity to fill in for the sped teacher on leave. But the school could have planned to give those teachers one less class in order to provide services to those students.
And I am not surprised the AP had no clue what teachers were certified in.

No information has been released. Maybe they are hoping for spring?

What’s the status on the theater program at SWW. Did they or will they have a production this year?
