School Committee Approves Superintendent's
Budget
The Reading School Committee approved
the Superintendent’s Recommended budget with no revisions. The budget includes
an additional $75,000 of additional revenue that was added to help reduce the
reduction in regular education paraeducators at the elementary level. This
additional funding will help restore the kindergarten paraeducators to current
staffing levels and provide adequate lunch/recess coverage. What was not
restored was additional paraeducator time to support classroom teachers and the
office.
All other reductions and restructuring
were approved, including the two instructional coaches, the BCBA, the TSP/SSP
Program Director, and the Technician.
The next step in the process will be
for the School Department to present their budget to the Finance Committee on
Wednesday, March 11th at 7:30 p.m. at Town
Hall.
Sincerely,Michele and Cindy
