Attachment 42 – Staff Roster
Provide a roster of instructional staff for the school for each year of the charter that you are seeking. The roster
should indicate and identify classroom teachers, and any teaching aides or assistants, as well as any specialty
teachers. In addition, the roster should identify the number of instructional personnel in each classroom, e.g.,
one teacher, one teaching
assistant, one paraprofessional for each class. Please indicate as well whether the charter school intends to
utilize the limited waiver regarding teacher certification permitted by § 2854(3)(a-1). If so, indicate your
understanding of the limitations of that waiver.
Typical Classroom Configuration
In kindergarten through third grade, each classroom has a Lead Teacher and a Teacher. Our Lead
Teachers are typically educators with master’s degrees and two to five years of classroom experience.
Our Teachers will typically have at least a bachelor’s degree.
Beginning in fourth grade, classrooms will be staffed by a single Lead Teacher with additional faculty
members employed by the grade level to teach Science, Social Studies and/or Math
Teacher Qualifications
Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant understands that the greatest schools hire, train and retain
excellent teachers. We are committed to developing a strong, highly qualified team of teachers. We
are, however, aware that some individuals who will develop into fine teachers may lack certification
at the time they are hired by Leadership Prep Bedford Stuyvesant. Therefore, Leadership Prep
Bedford Stuyvesant limits non-certified teachers to no more than 30% of its teaching staff or five
teachers, whichever is less as required by the Education Law of the State of New York. All teachers
instructing core subjects, including those who lack certification, will meet the subject matter
competency and all other requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.
