IEP's (Individualized Educa-
tion Plan) in the class.
An IEP kid is recognized
as a student that is determined
to either have a disability, or
needs special accommodation.
“We might need to give
you extra time on a writing
assignment or we might need
to have someone read the text
to you if your having a hard
time reading it on your own.
There are different accommo-
dations that go along with an
IEP,” Bouley said.
One example Bouley and
De Blasi use for extra support
is helping with note-taking
strategies.
For instance, when Bou-
ley is up lecturing or giving a
power point presentation, De
Blasi will often take partial
notes and then work with kids
on fi lling in the blanks.
“What I am really looking
at is supporting kids when
she (Bouley) is lecturing. I'm
watching to see where they’re
lagging and I come in to give
them more support,” De Blasi
said.
De Blasi will also give kids
one-on-one attention while
the class is doing interactive
group work, which is a com-
monality in this classroom.
“We try to make it engag-
ing for the kids, especially be-
cause struggling readers usual-
ly don't like to read,” Bouley
said. “I like to try and fi nd the
kids who hate reading and see
if I can get them to just like it
a little bit. If you can get that,
I think that's a huge success
because kids are going to be
reading no matter what job

River Road, he added.
When asked whether it
would be possible to reduce
the number of driveways on
River Road as one way of
alleviating some of the choke
points, Brown said options
are limited under the current
development code.
“It would take a concerted
regulatory reform. Currently,
it’s not in the program to
eliminate driveways,” Brown
said.
Members of the traffi c
safety committee plan to
examine how the different
options might play out at a
future meeting and, possibly,
make a recommendation to
the Keizer City Council.

“We will also be involved

proceedings and a request
for a permanent injunction
to stop the shooting at the

De Blasi is teaching one lab
this semester geared towards
special education students, but
there are other labs available
for students that need/want
additional help with material
— the labs serve as an elective
credit.
Even though the lit skills
labs are a useful tool, De Bla-
si believes that the co-taught
classes are the more crucial as-
pect of getting kids what they
need to graduate.
“The model of co-teaching
helps us get all kids in all those
classes and that's when I am
able to deliver my services so
they never fall behind in their
credits,” De Blasi said. “That's
why our graduation rates are
so high.”
While there are a large
number of underclassmen
who are struggling with lit-
eracy, McNary still has some
of the best graduation rates in
the state — 88.24% in 2018,
which was more than 12 per-
cent higher than the state av-
erage.
What might be even more
impressive is that McNary has
increased the number of grad-
uates for special education
students by nearly 20 percent
— from 57.5% in 2016 to
76.7% in 2018.
When it comes to helping
struggling students or having
a successful special education
program, McNary principal
Erik Jespersen believes that
the teachers at his school are
going above and beyond the
call of duty.
“We have the best special
education staff in the state of
Oregon and our co-teaching
model has proven to be very
effective when it comes to
interventions,” Jespersen said.
“It's all about the overall ap-
proach to education our stu-
dents.”
“We're getting really desir-
able outcomes for our kids.”
