Special ed costs up The special education plan approved by the Huron - Perth Separate School Board has undergone a few changes after a year in operation. Superintendent of educa- tion John MacCauley out- lined the changes to the separate school trustees at their April 25 meeting. The increase of a half-time special education resource teacher was needed because of fluctuating caseloads at some schools within the sy- stem. The plan originally called for '1 1.8 special educa- tion resource teaching posi- tions for 1982-83 but this was increased to 12.3 teaching positions. - Mr. MacCauley also out- lined the changes in the number of teachers required for self-contained special ed- ucation classes in 1982-83. The plan originally called for five leachers for special edu- cation classes, but the num bcr will remain at the present three. "The numbers are not as high as predicted." said Mr. MacCauley adding that a number of students are served in the remedial class caseload. The number of self-con- tained special education classes remains at the pre sent three. Other changes made to the plan do not increase or decrease the number of leachers. While a half-time teacher for the gifted and a half -tints psychometrist were initially approved in the plan. the superintendent re ported that -the teacher of the gilled has been hired full- time but no appointment of a psychometrist has been mads. Two special education re- source teachers ill speech and language were hired 10 in• siruct exceptional pupils and while this is a part of their task. they will also he ins. • structing remedial students. reported Mr. MacCauley: • SEAFORTH STORE ONLY .YJn�f•:Rii1R.:YR�R:'i�i}::cif. �::�>]TTYTztiti.:::: �:: ^.�!..'.;•�.i: n..w.; •:: .The cost of the program was 13.7 per cent higher than originally anticipated.
