I think the abbreviations are - ESW is Elementary schools - HS is High School - SW is
System Wide
I am concentrating on fulltime positions - which is probably 95% of the staffing
These are the items that caught my attention -
$469,000 for stipends [half is athletics]
9 maintenance people which includes carpenters, electricians, and 1 painter - they might
repair Town blds in addition to School buildings - 9 seems like alot just for major School
repairs - [apparently is Townwide not just schools]
2 custodians per elementary school - 6 at Ottoson - 11 at High School (HS)
5 bus drivers and 1 foreman, plus 1 'transportation' person (???)
5 technology staff - looking at the school website - computers are used by teachers for
scheduling classes, grades, arranging parent teacher conferences, requesting repairs,
attendance, etc - does not seem to be heavy duty computing - perhaps some of these people
also work on the Town side - [BOS 11/09 mentioned Town Manager has some oversight here]
5 payroll people - ?????? - this is not a 24/7 operation - 5 sounds high - [service
Schools, Towm, and Enterprise Funds per dean Carmen on AList 11/20/09ish]
4 business office staff - they are probably dealing with ordering routine supplies -
chaulk - paper - toilet paper - fuel - food - ??
2 clerks per school - ???
1 Principal per elementary school
Ottoson - 1 principal and 2 assistant principals
High School - 1 Principal and 3 deans
7 and a half nurses
High School - 1 Truant officer, and 1 in house suspension person (???), and half a cop
(school resource officer)
10 Team Chairs - ???????
8 guidance people at High School plus 1 social worker [Nanci Ortwin disputes these numbers 11/23/09 AList ish]
- Ottoson has 4 guidance people
55 special education people - wow
9 world language teachers at High School - 7 foreign language teachers at Ottoson - that
seems to be a large commitment to foreign languages
3 physical education teachers at High School - 4 physical education teachers at Ottoson
(if each teaches 5 classes per day - and if there are 20 students per class - then 400
students per day would attend a PE class at the Ottoson)
Ottoson has 5 music staff and 2 technical education staff (plus 1 systemwide tech person
is at Ottoson)
The High School has 1/2 of a technical education person
High School also has 5 music staff and 2 art staff plus 2 librarians
