Budget cuts have hit my classroom

September 2nd, 2011 at 10:02 am

Trying not to panic, but the staffing in my special ed classroom has been cut from 4 adults... to 2. Yikes. Same kids as last year, actually add in 4 new ones, same needs or greater than last year. But the funding the dept. used to provide the additional staffing is not there this year. I have been fighting my case all summer, building administration is also fighting for me.

Since our needs are legitimate I know that we will eventually receive at least one additional assistant. It's just scary to envision how we will make it until then. I want the best for my students and it frustrates me to no end to think that I can't teach them appropriately because I just don't have the hands to do so.

    I'm sorry. That's the last place they should be cutting.

    I am astonished at the amounts of cuts to education that the current economic situation leads to... I agree with LuckyRobin, there should be some insurance against cuts to special education in the school districts, unless the needs are actually somehow diminishing in the community. Good luck this year!
