10. Additional Needs • To maintain the current staff into another year • Provide services to the high school • Currently the four teachers share one space, which can seem a little chaotic at times, so more teaching space would be nice • Also because we have come together in one room we lost our full computer lab, so having that functioning again at its full would help testing and computer intervention time run more smoothly
