Classroom Paraprofessionals

For the 2015-2016 school year, paraprofessional allocations will be formula generated on CASAS.

Exceptionality Program FTE Ratio Teacher + Para

EBD 6760 9.0 13.81

OI 6740 7.67 12.51

Pre-K ESE 6770 5.67 9.51

ASD 6821 4.4 7.6

IND 6710 6.6 11.64

Example: 18 FTE for EBD = 2 teachers, 1 paraprofessional

Classroom Paraprofessional Counts

There are currently 802 ESE classroom paraprofessionals in SAP. Based on the most recent simulation, there are projected to be 802 paraprofessionals generated: 100 schools will lose at least 1 para position72 schools will gain at least 1 para position127 schools will keep the same amount

ASD – Program 6821, Draft 1 Currently all ASD teacher units are funded at 1:4.4Recommended changes:

ASD students that are at a FEFP level of 111, 112 or 113 would generate teacher units at a ratio of 1:6.6

ASD students that are at a FEFP level of 254 or 255 would generate teacher units at a ratio of 1:4.4

As a result, less ASD – program 6821 teachers will be generated overall for students at the lower funding levels.

Currently all ASD teacher units are funded at 1:4.4Recommended changes:

ASD students that are at a FEFP level of 111, 112 or 113 would generate teacher units at a ratio of 1:5.0 (only an increase of 0.6)

ASD students that are at a FEFP level of 254 or 255 would generate teacher units at a ratio of 1:4.4
