The 30-second brief

The latest, from Oct 10: The school reported increased special education needs in co-taught math and ELA classes and said it is adding a paraprofessional to each co-taught class. The change was handled with current staff, so there was no new hire. This is a staffing signal tied to student support needs and may point to future paraprofessional, special education support, or classroom service demand if the load keeps rising.
