We did not receive the transcript from the charter school until 2/8/11. I will be happy to send that to you. Would you like me to send it through email, fax, or mail? Also, I am working on getting the information on the other NHQ Para from Southwest Middle School, Armando Vega-Fontanez, who only worked a short time before going on military leave. I have a learned a few things about employees going on military leave. They are actually paid for a time after they physically leave the school system and are on "Military Leave of Absence." Do you want the total amount that he was paid for 2010-11 or the amount he was paid while he was physically at Southwest Middle School?

I don't see information regarding L. Shackelford or R.Kaiser. I think the response is "not a Title I school". Please revise the response to include all of the paras. Just to clarify: 1 military waiting for leave, 9+2 non-Title I schools; 7 data entry errors; and 5 that were non-highly qualified for part of the current school year. Jan M.

To date, we have not received evidence from your district for all paraprofessionals providing instructional support in Title I schools.
