The Board recognizes the advantages of teacher aides in providing a more efficient and effective educational program. Teacher aides may perform a variety of services for the teachers based upon qualifications and experience.
Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, the Board may employ teacher aides to work under the general supervision of the building principals, and to assist teachers in such duties as managing and maintaining records, materials and equipment; attending to the physical needs of children; and performing other limited services to support teaching duties when such duties are determined and directed by teachers.
Temporary teacher aides may be employed when class size exceeds state classification standards; refer to Policy 2550 - Class Size.
