Resource teachers shall possess specialized educational skills or knowledge and shall be employed and assigned to strengthen one or more professional components of a classroom or school. As the approved curriculum design of the school system emphasizes specific areas of the instructional program, the administration shall be authorized to assign properly qualified personnel as resource teachers in the identified program areas, provided such use of personnel does not jeopardize the system's compliance with state provisions regarding maximum class size or federal comparability requirements.
