Paraeducators. The parties recognize the important role played by paraeducators and agree that paraeducator assistance will be provided as follows to work both in the special education room and to work in the general education room as needed to provide inclusive experiences for students as directed by the special education teacher. Special education teachers with lower caseloads will work collaboratively with general education teachers at the secondary level, the curricular leader or department head to share paraeducator time as needed to meet the needs of special education students in the building. In the event that additional assistance is needed to meet student needs, the teacher may request a meeting with the building administrator and appropriate district staff to address the situation. The following paraeducator hours are based on: Resource Room/Integrated Program 30 hr/wk for each 30 students Self-Contained Academic/Support Center 65 hr/wk for each 12 students Self-Contained Life Skills/Adaptive Support Center 65 hr/wk for each 10 students Emotional Behavioral Disorders/School Adjustment 65 hr/wk for each 10 students Preschool/Early Childhood Education 32.5 hr/wk for each 12 students with IEPs in each session (65 hrs/wk for 12 students with IEPs in both sessions) Paraeducator staffing may be added to special education classrooms with high impact students based on the unique needs of students. Other remedies will be explored with the teacher and principal.

As paraeducators separate from employment during the 2017-18 school year, or change assignments out of ELL positions, staffing will be adjusted to more closely fit the formula above.
