Case Load Sizes – Special Education Sample Clauses

Case Load Sizes – Special Education. The District and Association believe that the broad spectrum of students’ academic and behavioral needs requires that caseloads be controlled for optimal student success and professional effectiveness of all special education staff. In support of this belief, we will follow the guidelines below for caseload sizes.

The “instructed caseload” refers to provision of instruction or coordination of instruction by others. The “6-12 resource room instruction” assignment does not case manage IEPs; the “K-12 resource room case management” assignment does not provide specially-designed instruction. One 6-12 teacher might be assigned partial FTE for instruction and partial FTE for case management.
