This will be the second year of a four-year grant that seeks to keep students with disabilities and English-as-a-second-language learners in mainstream math classes, said middle school Principal Christopher Herdman. The district had received a $800,000 state grant in order to have team-teaching in its math classes from fifth through eighth grades over four years.

Last year, the district started by having a regular education and special education teacher team-teach two fifth grade math classes. This year, the same will be offered in two sixth grade classes. This will be added in the following two years in seventh and eight grades.
