Full -time Spanish Translator /Interpreter $ 60,262 <br />A full -time, 12 -month Spanish translator /interpreter position is needed to better meet <br />the needs of NCL,B at a more efficient cost to the district. The district currently uses <br />contractors to provide the services. <br />Expansion of After School Proficiency Classes $ 51,000 <br />Schools have requested additional funds to extend the after school opportunities to 18 <br />weeks for students who are not experiencing success. The request is to provide $3,000 more to <br />elementary and middle schools (39,000), and $6,000 more to each high school ($12,000). <br />Support for Implementation of Athletic Task Force Recommendations $ 10,000 <br />Recommendations from the Athletic Task Force will require having district level <br />monitoring of all school athletic programs to ensure that the recommendations from the task <br />force are implemented. These funds would provide a stipend to someone to provide this <br />service. <br />Additional Assistant Coaches to Comply with Title IX $ 12,000 <br />Additional assistant coaches for female sports are needed to bring the district into Title <br />IX compliance. Women's lacrosse, volleyball, and field hockey are the only sports where the <br />varsity and junior varsity teams have only one assistant coach position. This is one of the task <br />force recommendations, <br />Enhancements to Assessment, Data Management, and Information <br />Technoloj4y <br />Expansion of District Assessment System $ 20,000 <br />District -wide assessment funding is currently not sufficient to support the planned <br />testing for 2006 -07. Ten End -of- Course classes will be tested at the end of each quarter. <br />Reading, math, and science will also be tested at three points in time for grades 3-8. This <br />amount is needed in addition to the $99,000 already in the budget. <br />Data Warehousing Soft♦vare $ 75,000 <br />The district has numerous databases that hold information about programs, students, <br />and staff The problem is that these individual databases are isolated and do not interact with <br />each other A data warehouse stores multiple years of data from various systems and allows for <br />analyses across software programs after the data is converted to a common software language, <br />The district is currently reviewing possible warehousing software <br />Entrancement of K -2 Assessment $ 14,500 <br />The new state K -2 Assessment includes paper and pencil tests at all four quarters for all <br />students. hr the past, there was only a need for fourth quarter tests. Funds are needed to cover <br />both printing of the other quarter exams, and replacement DRA test kits, used either for new <br />teachers or new positions, and required for the testing of reading. <br />Pre -I{ and Spanish IPT Assessment Materials $ 2,450 <br />The state requires IPT testing of students who are non - native speakers of English in <br />grades K -12. The district supports testing the Pre -K students as well so that we can measure <br />their growth and choose appropriate supports prior to entry to kindergarten. <br />
