2007-08 Adopted Plan - Wake County Public School System

Growth RequestsInitiative: Bus Safety AssistantsTwelve new bus safety assistants (seven @10 months and fi ve @12months).Current Funding Formula:• 12 new positions (12 percent growth over current year)• Seven vacancies to be fi lled in current year (Individual EducationPlans ((IEPs) requiring these positions).Since the needs for these positions is wholly dependent upon individualIEPs and needs of the exceptional child, future projections will be fora minimum of six positions per year. Each year will require furtherevaluation of the Exceptional Children’s population and needs.These positions were budgeted last year by the Exceptional Children’sDepartment. They have been transferred to the TransportationDepartment for fi scal year beginning 2006-07. Positions budgeted werenot suffi cient to cover the needs in this fi scal year and additional positionshave been added. The continued rapid growth of this student populationis driving the increase in these staff positions.The IEPs for Exceptional Children determines the need for additionalsafety assistants. IEPs happen throughout the school year based on theindividual needs of students. This creates a growth rate that cannot becontrolled by the Transportation Department. We must respond to therequests for additional safety assistants when the need is identifi ed forthe individual child.Implementation Timeline & Budget Needed:2007-08 MOE Amount CodeBus Safety Assistants- 130 new monthsplus funding for 70months covered bylapsed salaries inprevious year.2008-09130.00 $ 163,66612,52011,68648,5642,784Total: 130.00 $ 239,220Bus Safety Assistants 60.00 $ 69,2215,2954,94225,4941,3922009-10Total: 60.00 $ 106,344Bus Safety Assistants 60.00 $ 69,2215,2954,94226,7661,392Total: 60.00 $ 107,616Base 02.6550.706.199.0136.0880SS 02.6910.706.211.0136.0880Ret 02.6910.706.221.0136.0880Hosp 02.6910.706.231.0136.0880Dental 02.6910.706.234.0136.0880Base 02.6550.706.199.0136.0880SS 02.6910.706.211.0136.0880Ret 02.6910.706.221.0136.0880Hosp 02.6910.706.231.0136.0880Dental 02.6910.706.234.0136.0880Base 02.6550.706.199.0136.0880SS 02.6910.706.211.0136.0880Ret 02.6910.706.221.0136.0880Hosp 02.6910.706.231.0136.0880Dental 02.6910.706.234.0136.0880229 FY 2007-08 Plan for Student Success
