The proposal also includes the addition of 1 Supervisor for the Special Services Department, 1 Assistant Buildings and Grounds Supervisor, 2 Maintenance/Groundskeepers, 1 high school teacher for additional electives, funding in the amount of $125,000 to enhance the stipends in the paraprofessional contract, 3 Enrichment/Intervention teachers at the elementary level, 3 part time security guards for the schools, and health benefits for the 8 additional staff members.
