The Standard Deviants - Learn English as a Second Language (ESL) DVD 4-Pack After a few years of being forced to cut staff positions throughout the Jamestown Public Schools district, if this year’s budget is any indication, that trend may end. Included in the proposed 2007-08 budget are a math coordinator, reading coaches for Fletcher, Lincoln, Love and Rogers elementary schools and Washington Middle School, extracurricular adviser positions, an English as a second language teacher and a bus mechanic. Dale Weatherlow, assistant superintendent, said he is optimistic no layoffs will take place. ‘‘This is the first year hopefully we won’t have to do that,’’ he said. The addition of an ESL instructor will also benefit students in the district, Kathman said. ‘‘We’re hopeful we’ll serve the needs of our ESL kids more effectively with another ESL teacher,’’ he said.
