Aug 16, 2004 Board Meeting -- SEDOM

Submitted by Amy Dawson

School board member Bob Nunamaker reported on SEDOM special education trends. SEDOM has experienced declining enrollment at least partly due to districts keeping special education students closer to home. SEDOM has proposed that McHenry be broken into quadrants. Our quadrant would include the towns of FRG, Cary and Crystal Lake. This would “cluster staff” and mean that the average SEDOM student would spend less time on a bus.

The following new employees are NOT SEDOM employees. Laura Pettigrew was unanimously approved as Fox River Grove’s new Special Education Aide. Renee Baniqued is now an ARS Early Education Aide. ECE has seventeen students, plus two more to be tested.
