The attached version of Franklin County Policy 80.1131 is revising to accommodate new credit options and clarifies elements of our existing policy on Alternative Credit Options.

At the top of each draft is the rationale for the proposed change. In the body of the draft, additional or new language is underlined. Language with 'strike throughs" is recommended for deletion.

Board acceptance of the 2005 Board Policy Update First Reading.

Attached is the 2005 Procedure Update. These procedures are amended to reflect anticipated changes in Board Policy. Following your review and comment, they will be in force.

That the Board reflect in the minutes that these procedures have been reviewed and appropriate comments have been made.

As has been discussed in previous meetings, our allocation of staff to the District's two middle schools needs to be adjusted. Although I would like to see additional staff placed in all schools, there simply are not enough funds to do so. In working with our allocations over the past five years, it was evident to me that our staffing policy was always the weakest at the middle school level. Beginning with the 2005-2006 school year, I would ask that the Board adopt an allocation procedure that changes the supplemental allocation for certified staff for grades 6-8 from membership divided by a divisor of 62 to being divided by 58. Each year's calculation could be different, but for 05-06, this will have the result of placing one (1) additional certified staff at each of the middle schools. The school council will decide in each school how that unit is to be used. The cost of each unit is estimated to be about $50,000 and the Working Budget will reflect the actual additional cost to the District.

That our District Staffing Procedure 02.4331 be amended as indicated above.

Motion Passed:  That our District Staffing Procedure 02.4331 be amended as indicated above. passed with a motion by Mrs. Pat Fannin and a second by Stanley Salchli.
