Bus Routes Approvals
As the new school started, the bus routes were reviewed, especially with regards to the new requirements of SEA 2. In July, the board was presented with two routes whereby students needed to cross a highway: Route #26 and Route #2. In addition to the routes presented in July, two additional routes needs to be approved where there are no other reasonable alternatives:
Bus Route #5 Scott Cessna: 2 Students (MS & EL) cross State Road 213 in the AM. Bus Driver has a safety plan in place with parents and students.
Bus Route # 21 Glenn Edwards: 1 student AM/PM (HS) crosses State Road 28. Bus Driver has a safety plan in place with parents and student.
At this time, it is recommended that the Board of School Trustees approve Bus Routes #5 and #21, in addition to Bus Routes #2 and #26 previously approved.
4.3
Consideration to approve changes to Policy 3220.01 on First Reading.
School corporations are required to have an annual review of Policy 3220.01 – Teacher Appreciation Grant. This must be approved prior to the submission date for the corporation Teacher Appraisal Plan on September 13. Previously it was felt that we would reaffirm this policy as we have done in the past. However, as mentioned earlier, information came for NEOLA after our last meeting that we do need to update Policy 3220.01 based on changes in state law allowing to allocate up to 20% of the grant to teachers with less than five years experience. The recommended policy change would not choose that option. It is recommended that the Board adopt the changes on Policy 3220.01 on First Reading.
