7th electives would be exploratory
in nature and include current

introductory classes to HS

Special Education
Additional Personnel Needs with the
addition of Middle School students
• Business teacher – BOE approved an
additional teacher position earlier in the year.
• 1 cook
• 1 custodian
• .75 nurse (already have a .25 position)
• 1 autism teacher
• Para support for special needs students
Concerns
• A shared vision for what we want for USD 378 students
• ADA accessible bathrooms, doorways, and ramps
• Time enough to have buildings physically ready for August start date.
– Modular moved in June
– Could the modular be used by high school students while
renovating the high school building for middle school?
• Example would be if special education and autism is housed in
the current FACS room
• What is temporary?
• Will there be a full time nurse on site?
• Safety / security
– More doors now could be unlocked
Concerns, page 2
• Additional storage space
– Athletics
-Art
– PE
-Band
• Practice locations
• Tunnel clean out
• Negotiated agreement
– Plan time
• Additional cost of adding books at both HS & GS libraries.
• Other concerns such as logistics, transitioning, technology, student
handbooks, communication between buildings, and student lockers
can be addressed by administration.
