9.16 Consider
Approval of a Plan to Recruit and Retain Teachers in Schools in Deciles 1-3
The Governor’s 2006-07 budget for
education includes additional one-time and ongoing funding. One new program
eligible for a one-time funding allocation of approximately $330,000 is focused
on recruiting and retaining teachers and principals serving in schools in Deciles 1-3 based on the 2005 Academic
Performance Index (API). In addition to the state funding, there are also
District and Site Block Grants as well as the Teacher Recruitment and Student
Support Grant funds that could be used for this purpose. Expenditure of certain
funds would need Board and/or Site Council approval.
District staff proposed the following
plan to recruit, retain and stabilize the teaching staff in the 12 District
schools in Deciles 1-3, which are Bel Air, Cambridge, Fair Oaks, Meadow Homes,
Rio Vista, Shore Acres, Sun Terrace, and Ygnacio Valley elementary; Glenbrook,
Oak Grove, and Riverview middle; and M. Diablo High:
1. Teachers who
are returning to the school will receive a one-step adjustment in their step
placement while they remain at the school.
Teachers who leave the school will lose the step adjustment.
2. A teacher new to one of the eligible
schools will receive a one-step adjustment and a $500 bonus payment on January
31 and a $500 bonus on June 30 based on a 100% FTE. Teachers working less than
full time, or less than the full year, will have their bonus pro-rated.
3. The plan applies to all MDEA unit
members assigned to the school who have no standard rated Unsatisfactory (U) on
their most recent Final Evaluation. The entire plan is subject to the
availability of funding and meeting with the exclusive representative of the
Association.
Fiscal Impact: $500,000 Funding Source: General Fund – District and Site Block Grants
and General Fund including one-time money allocated in the Governor’s Budget
and approved by the Legislature for recruitment and retention of teachers and
principals in schools in deciles 1-3.
Board/Staff discussion
Noting that there is not a lot of money available, Eberhart acknowledged
that the proposed plan will not be the “end all” in recruiting staff to schools
in need, but, he said, it can be “one of the small pieces of the puzzle that
will help those sites.” Allen called the plan “a good start.” Strange pointed
out that the plan, coupled with money the Board has already allocated to the
sites in question, can only help the schools. Treece said she is thrilled that
the state is again looking at ways to attract and retain teachers, which will
help stabilize the work force.
Board action
Eberhart moved, Treece seconded, and the Board voted 5-0-0 to approve
plan as presented subject to the availability of funding, agreement with MDEA,
and a return to the Board of Education for final approval.
