Ms. Getz from Wampus, and Ms. Forbes from Coman Hill.
They were assisted by Special Education Directors Rhonda
Pfeiffer and Judy Hirschhorn; Director of Fine Arts,
Joy Varley; Director of Health, PE, and Athletics, Mike
Gulino; and Technology Coordinator, Marie Kish. Staffing
recommendations, totaling 13.4 full-time equivalent
positions for the district, were discussed by each principal.
Board questions brought out the link between staffing
recommendations and enrollment increases, with particular
attention to class size guidelines as detailed and
materials from Deputy Superintendent Jackie Taylor.
Other Board questions touched on textbooks, equipment,
technology, and special education. While most of the
attention to staffing concerned teaching positions,
the subject of aide time at the elementary schools-particularly
for Kindergarten-was also examined.
