Background: The Transportation Department has updated the information contained in the handbook and is submitting it for approval.Background: We are recommending the pilot form of the state model PBTE be approved by the Board of Education for use as the evaluation instrument for 2013-2014. A new classified performance based evaluation form has been developed that includes a fall formative as well as a spring summative. We are recommending these pilot forms be approved as well. Following implementation, next May/June the forms will be revised if needed and brought back to the Board for consideration in July 2014.H. Approve Board Resolution Regarding House Bill 253
Background: House Bill 253 passed the legislature this spring. The “Broad-Based Tax Relief Act” cuts corporate income taxes. Governor Nixon vetoed this bill June 5th. There are estimates the possible override of the bill could result in an $800 million or 10 percent reduction in net general revenue for the state. MSBA and other groups point to the fact our formula payments from the state are already underfunded by $620 million. Please find attached a sample resolution from MSBA for Board consideration to urge the legislature to sustain the veto of House Bill 253.
I. Grant Permission to Apply for the MDC Discover Nature Schools Grant
Background: Two staff members from Hurricane Deck Elementary are seeking permission to apply for the $1000 MDC Discover Nature Schools Grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation. This would expand their outdoor classroom, their gardening boxes and other learning activities for the students. There is no local match for this grant.
J. Modify Career Ladder Eligibility for Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCCs)
Background: Under our former state career ladder plan, individuals who held the CCCs certificate were determined to have fulfilled all of the standards required to be placed on Stage III of the career ladder program provided that such a speech pathologist had been employed by a public school in Missouri for at least five years. It is recommended that as a District we allow our speech pathologists who hold the CCC be allowed to move to Stage III of career ladder if they have five years of experience as an SLP in a school.

B. APPROVE ADDITIONAL CAREER LADDER FUNDING
Background: Currently our Career Ladder Program is funded at 70% of the level of funding prior to the state withdrawing their share four years ago. Currently funding for Career Ladder stages is as follows:
Stage I: $1,050 for 40 hours of Career Ladder time.
Stage II: $2,100 for 60 hours of Career Ladder time.
Stage III: $3,500 for 80 hours of Career Ladder time.
Based on closeout balances from the 2012-2013 year being ahead of what was budgeted the Board is being asked to consider approving additional Career Ladder funding by moving the percentage from 70% to 80%. By increasing the funding of Career Ladder the District would spend a little over an additional $100,000. Breakdowns of stages of Career Ladder would be as follows:
Stage I: $1,200 for 48 hours of Career Ladder time.
Stage II: $2,400 for 72 hours of Career Ladder time.
Stage III: $4,000 for 96 hours of Career Ladder time.
