Our district is high needs. Funding has been cut drastically over the years, as it has in other districts around the country. However, our students' needs, especially those that need extra help, continue to increase due to high poverty and trauma, despite the decrease in funding. In an effort to close the learning gap for my students who have identified special education needs, they will require work including in class assignments and home work that is at their ability level. This project (paper and ink) will enable me to provide modified work throughout the year, as the cost to do so surpasses the amount I am allocated each year.
