Measuring our Progress
Graduation Rates
Deployment/Redeployment of Staff
To meet student and school community needs in the 2016-17 school year additional staff were deployed during changeover periods that occur at the midpoint and end of semesters. This aids in ensuring students receive adequate support in the classroom to foster success, which leads to positive outcomes in the long term.
The equivalent of 27 classes (sections) were deployed in our secondary schools. Eleven sections (or 1.83 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff) were deployed in Semester 1, and 16 sections (2.67 FTE staff) were deployed in Semester 2.
In our elementary schools there were 38.08 FTE teaching staff deployed, along with 24 FTE designated early childhood educators.
