Stanwood seeks more teacher development
Stanwood-Camano School District teachers would get extra support to analyze student work, plan lessons and conduct research and other collaborative work under the district’s 2006-07 budget for Initiative 728 dollars.
The school board will vote on the proposal after a public hearing at 7 tonight.
Washington voters approved I-728 in 2000, setting aside money for school improvement efforts. Like most districts, Stanwood uses most of its $1.9 million to hire additional teachers to reduce class sizes.
Other things funded by I-728 in Stanwood include summer school and classroom testing.
Northshore sets school improvement spending
Mentoring programs in Northshore School District will get a $50,000 boost, thanks to state Initiative 728 school improvement dollars.
The $280,700 mentor program is just one of several to benefit from the special pot of money. Northshore’s $7.3 million I-728 budget for 2006-07 also adds dollars to professional development and adds five teaching positions to further reduce class sizes.
