VI.C. Approve Administrative Stipend for Chase Goff for Acting Superintendent

VI.D. Approve Emergency Certification

Rationale

Mrs. Derisa Hindle is requesting approval for an Emergency Teaching Certification for a High School Science Teacher, a High School PE/Health Teacher, and an Elementary School (2nd grade) teacher. Postings to attract and employ teachers in these positions were placed on the Kentucky Employment Placement Service (KEPS) and on the district's application software (TalentEd), and on vacancy announcements throughout the district. The best candidate for the science position is a current substitute willing to teach in this role for the entire school year who taught similar classes on an Emergency Teaching Certification last school year. The best candidate for the High School PE/Health is currently working to get into a Master's program in order to gain full certification with the Education Professional Standards Board. The best candidate for the Elementary Teacher taught last year on an Emergency Teaching Certificate and is working toward full certification with the Education Professional Standards Board.

VI.E. Approve Superintendent Contract

VI.F. Approve receipt of grants from Project Prevent and Sources of Strength

Rationale

We have received the following two grants:$1,000 from Project Prevent and $3,000 from Brothers Run. I believe these need to be on the board agenda.

Congratulations!

The Project Prevent Safe*PLACE Non-Competitive Grant Proposal in the amount of $1,000 has been approved for the Elizabethtown Independent School District to purchase SEL materials, fidgets and mindfulness tools, and resources and activity materials for Sources of Strength and Restorative Practices.

Once the purchases have been made and finalized, please submit ONE reimbursement request for up to $1,000 with supporting documentation (copy of POs, invoices, receipts, etc.) to me on or before September 15, 2023. Please make sure orders will arrive in time to submit for reimbursement documentation and also review shipping charges for your orders. The district will be responsible for any amount that exceeds the $1000.

Due to the closeout of the Project Prevent Year 4 budget, NO EXCEPTIONS will be accepted after the September 14th deadline. Thanks for your help and understanding.

Reimbursement requests should be emailed to kellie.thompson@grrec.org.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.
