who are falling behind. Education ….


who are falling behind. Education association co-president Patricia Toavs said there used to be two interventionists at each school and now there is just one at each of the elementary schools.
Toavs said the amount of teachers in Wolf Point decreased from about 100 to about 70 in 2011-2012.
“We’ve never gotten those positions back,” she said.
Gourneau said to revitalize the community that education needs to increase and crime needs to decrease.
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 6 p.m.
Perkins said a challenge during negotiations could be not knowing yet what Montana legislators might change for education funding.
“They are pretty confident there will be a 3 percent increase,” Perkins said of legislators.
Another possible concern is if the Department of Education is eliminated at a federal level. Perkins said there could be some good aspects such as less reports, but he said he is “nervous” about Title I funding, which includes special education.
