| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |

| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | As the numbers of placements needed for education students continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find enough appropriate placements for our students who are taking courses that require observations. Two large school districts in our area, the Middletown Enlarged Central School District and the Newburgh Enlarged Central School District, have historically been uncooperative in terms of arranging placements. Utilization of these two districts would be a key part in having our students placed in convenient and high quality settings. |
