Dr. Koster, Would you be willing to host this again without ex dir, dir, managers, ... those that evaluate us. I have witnessed so many concerns that when brought up to management, they are disregarded and dismissed bc that employee is just so ...  Its very concerning when management contributes to the problem or isnt willing to address the problem.  We should all want to seek improvement even when we have to improve from within.

At some point, will you be meeting with the entire Individual Evaluation group (diagnosticians, LSSPs, lead diagnosticians)?  We are often overlooked when changes and decisions are made.  As the gate keepers of most of the evaluation process, it would be nice to have some input.  Thanks.

Looking at staffing: Are SpEd students at their home campus or transfers?  I was a resource and inclusion teacher and many of my students were on transfers which pushed my caseload up.

Dr. Koster, at some point, will you be meeting with Campus Support Supervisors?

Don't clump the position - We need Resource teachers, We need Inclusion teachers.  Not Inclusion/Resource teachers.  This will allow teachers to better serve their students.

Post new leadership/organization chart. Several staff have left or moved within the SPED department. Who is in charge of what.

sometimes evaluators requesting to do formal FIE just for their area for a REED are made to feel like what they are asking for is a burden to others on the team

Have we tapped into collaborating with all T&L departments? When they write curriculum, SPED should be there before it goes out to teachers so it isn’t looked at as being optional.

When campuses and case managers fail to provide FAPE and there is an identified trend of failure to make recommended changes from Central, there should be accountability from the campus (ie, Professional Development, Campus Improvement Plan etc.)

Solution oriented and don't just pass the buck!!!

Look at TC and FLS programs; the expectations for each have been the same.  If we were to combine these 2 then ratios need to be addressed.  TC is 2 staff to 8 students, FLS 2 staff to 13 students.  Also, break down the FLS into elementary and intermediate classes.  It is a challenge for our teachers to teach 5 grade levels all day.

Looking at staffing, can we address the numbers in the units?  When looking at staff schedules, lunches, planning period and Para breaks, paras pulled for other duties, there are 1 1/2 to 2 hours each day in which there is only on adult in the room.  This can create a safety concern.  If we add additional staff, we need to work with school administrators to not pull staff for other duties in the school.
