KeBecca Program Updates Information Only Presented by: Kim Harmon

KeBecca is a contracted program that the district has worked with for the past year and half to provide educational services for our most severe behavior students who have struggled to find success in any of the settings we can provide within our schools.

The KeBecca classroom is located at the James Madison Educational Center serving students in grades 4-8. They provide core subject instruction as well as Special Education services. We have had a total of 11 students enrolled in the program since we started with no more than 7 at any one time. Currently there are 5 students in the classroom representing grade levels 5th through 8th with 2-3 students being considered for placement.

Data on student progress will be shared.

REQUEST FORM

MEETING DATE:

FROM: Kim Harmon PAGE NUMBER: 7 X Administrative Team [] Committee Attachment 2015-021 []Other [specify] Subject to be discussed: 2015-16 Calendar Proposals Presented by: Kim Harmon

The committee is proposing two options for the 2015-16 school year dependent on the decision by the Department of Education on the allowance of early start waivers.

Both options are based on hours and allow for 1136.5 student contact hours for the year--well above the minimum required 1080 hours required.

The option also builds in professional development time with teacher compensation of time spent in collaboration outside of the regular contracted day.

Vacations include two weeks in December and a week in March.

The committee requests approval of calendar option A with the stipulation that if a decision comes from the State before the last day of this school year to allow early start waivers, calendar option B would be approved as the 2015-16 school calendar.
