Ms. Hunerberg joined the group to discuss the Resource Room students in classes 601 and 602. It was determined that the schedule set was fine and the formation of the new 608 class would have no bearing on the schedule. The students being moved into the 608 class would not be Resource Room students. The discussion further brought our team to decide upon a few more students for our 20 targeted. Ms. Hunerberg agreed to work with these target Resource Room students and forward her findings to the group.
