FYI

The Lead BIL group has met several times to learn about and discuss a proposed change to the ATPPS model at the High School.

In short: The HS has been granted permission (pending Board and MDE approval) to conduct a pilot for one year. 

The HIGH SCHOOL change eliminates the 18 BIL  and 2LBIL positions into 2 FULL TIME people who will be responsible for all observations.  (ONLY at the HS)

The HS folks are reducing their stipend from $2000 to $1500 in order to fund the change.

There are NO PROPOSED CHANGES for the Middle School and Elementary ATPPS Models for next year.

The LBIL group will be carefully analyzing the HS Pilot throught the year, with an eye to creating a district wide plan that will best serve all staff!

I will keep you posted.....

In the meantime.....
