In reviewing class forecasts for the coming year at the high school an opportunity to capture additional CTE funding, and provide increased opportunities for students to gain a required CTE credit was identified. WHS, in collaboration with WPS has offered a program called "primary mentors" In this program WHS students serve as Teaching Assistants at the Primary School. By modifying the class and creating a more authentic program that will serve as an introduction to careers in education we are able to consider this a CTE program and receive enhanced fundign that will pay for the additional certificated staffing to support the program. This is a cost neutral (or very close to cost neutral, -$30) opportunity.
Administrative Recommendation /MOTION/ I move we approve an additional .2 staffing for the CTE program at WHS, and that we approve the hire of WHS teacher Joanne Rooney for an additional .2 FTE Teaching Assignment.
