42 Rationale for Art, Music, Business Options Reductions in art sections are the result of declines in enrollment and/or a reduction in student requests for courses Reductions in staff for instrumental t music lessons will not eliminate lessons, but will increase the number of students grouped for those lessons. Funding for instrument repair, maintenance and some supplies was restored to preserve investment in equipment and to ensure students have access to working instruments; Business elective maintained to preserve wide variety of opportunities for students; fewer electives results in more students assigned to study halls.

Special Areas (World LanguagesandCulture) and Items under consideration that WERE enacted in the proposed budget 46 Reduce one section of German at 7 th grade at FMS 0.2 $10,300 NA Reduce one section of Spanish at 6 th grade due to enrollment 0.2 $10,300 NA Reduce on section of Spanish at 7 th grade due to enrollment 0.2 $10,300 NA Reduce two sections of Spanish 3 at GHS due to fewer student requests 0.4 $20,600 NA Offer one section of Italian at 6 th grade at FMS NA Cost Neutral 30 Increase ESL to meet early literacy needs/additional students +.75 +54,000 20 Items under consideration that were NOT enacted in the proposed budget Eliminate Spanish 1 (one section) at GHS 0.2 $10,300 10
47 Rationale for World Language Options There is one section of 6 th grade German advancing to 7 th grade in 2013-2014 There is a decline in student requests for Spanish 3 at the high school (60 fewer than anticipated) One section of 6 th grade Italian is proposed for FMS in 2013-2013 in response to a high level of interest among incoming 6 th grade students. There is no significant cost to the program, now or over time. Analysis indicates a potential need to add.2 FTE in 2014-2015; growth likely offset with overall decline in enrollment ESL population is growing; early literacy needs have been identified and will be addressed by ESL/Reading Recovery teacher, funded in part with Title III grant ($30,000) 000)
