Geeks,
We have some students that spend half of their day at an area vocational
center taking classes there. The classes are taught by vocational teachers
at their building at another site and our students are bussed to that site,
they attend classes 1/2 a day and then bussed back and they attend classes
here the other 1/2 of the day. These classes do show up on our course
catalog, but it is a generic listing (vocational technology) and not as the
specific course they are taking like Auto Body Repair or Nursing. In the
past I would mark these kids as FTE .5 for our school under serving school
and the vocational center as .5 FTE for serving. I have a new principal
that is telling me that they should be 1.0 serving here since it is "our
class" that is being taught at their building?? I was pretty sure he was
wrong, but when I go back and look at a few students that I knew were
vocational last year I only find a .5 FTE listing for our school and nothing
for the vocational school in their records - making it look like the kid was
1/2 time here only.
Anyone know the correct way to code these kids?
Thanks in advance.
