Superintendent of educa- tion Alana Murray told trus- tees at a meeting earlier this week that as of mid-October, 4,032 in the district have special needs and of those, 1,642 have been formally identified "with an excep- tionality," which means their educational needs must be re -assessed annually. "It is a huge challenge for us to provide the supports needed, with the funding that is available," Murray said. There are 2,193 elemen- tary students with special needs - 1,446 of them are male and 747 are female. At the secondary level, there are 1,839 students with spe- cial needs - 1,180 of them are male and 659 are female. In addition to those, another 46 students above the board's projected num- bers of students needing help, have been identified this school year. The special needs of stu- dents range from learning disabilities and physical challenges to developmental disabilities and giftedness. Four per cent of the stu- dents identified with spe- cial needs have a special class placement for 100 per cent of their day. The remaining students spent varying amounts in and out of the regular classroom during the day, which also poses challenges for teach- ing staff saying "it can be both physically and emo- tionally demanding." Murray told trustees that $25.5 million dollars was allocated for special educa- tion in Bluewater in the board's 2015-16 budget. Over half of the board's educational assistants - 43 in total - lost their jobs due to lack of funding. Murray said all educa- tional assistant schedules were reviewed in order to ensure student needs were being met. In 19 schools, there no recommended changes to the scheduling. In 14 schools, there were "unique" challenges and some changes made and 15 schools required "signifi- cant changes" to the scheduling. The changes are being monitored, Murray said, and assessments will be made two times a year. In addition, a detailed sur- vey for parents with special needs has been created and will be sent to those parents this week, with a return date of mid-January. "It really is hard for us to do what needs to be done for these students when we don't get the funding we need," Owen Sound trustee Marg Gaviller commented.
