Recent funds have been allocated to KDE and the Board of Education has a serious commitment to fund again full day Kindergarten. I am excited, and I really think we will be able to run four Kindergarten classes, full day, with 2 English teachers and two Spanish teachers. Please remember, at this point we only have 2 teachers and 2 assistants. This number rounds up to 11. Eleven, an odd number, automatically becomes twelve to make an even number of teachers.
Twelve is the number of teachers needed to run the immersion program at the primary level.
If we do not achieve the minimum quota of 231 students, we will be allocated on D-4 just 10 teachers. This number does not round up to anything - ten is ten. Also, ten is an even number. Therefore, our very generous and special staffing policy will not apply. Yes, it has happened in the past.
