How many special education students have one paraeducator assigned to them? Please provide this information for the last five years at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and by programs.

Question#: 29

ANSWER:

The Office of Special Education attached the following charts:

  • Attachment A — Critical Staffing Count of Students and Total Hours by Program
  • Attachment B — Critical Staffing Count of Students and Total Hours by Primary Reason
  • Attachment C — Critical Staffing Count of Students and Total Hours by Level
  • Attachment D — Critical Staffing Count of Students and Total Hours by Grade Level

These four attachments reflect the number of students who received one-on-one services by a paraeducator from June 2016 through January 2020 and the number of paraeducator hours provided to students in a one-on-one environment by grade, school level, and program. It also provides the number of students by primary reason for the one-on-one services.
