11. SBDM staffing dilemmasKelly Koch

17. Tough Decisions • Your principal and administration are able to assess the situation prior to presenting to SBDM. • It is important to remember this is not personal.

18. Decisions and Decision Makers • Only so much money is allotted to each school for salary. • It is possible to “buy” a person with a grant or other funds, however the long term needs of a school need to be considered.

19. Seniority Matters • Since JCPS teachers are members of an union, JCTA has guaranteed representation. No one can be let go from the county due to budgeting issues if they have a standing contract. However, budgeting may affect where you are staffed

20. 2004-2005 Budget • The budget shortfalls are expected to be minimum for our school because of grant and CSIF funding. However other schools won’t be as lucky. • State grants are on the chopping block too, such as, YSC and behavior coaching programs.

21. How much involvement is appropriate?Lynn Johnson

22. The Bylaws Composition • SBDM consists of 3 teachers, 2 parents, and 1 principal/ administrator. • You can increase these numbers but they have to be proportional (6 teachers, 4 parents, 2 principals/administrators, and one non-voting classified staff member).

23. Input from Non-Council Members • Outside parties may recommend items by submitting a written report 48hrs prior to the meeting. • Once there, they need to sign in and specify their topic of interest. • They are then given three minutes to speak on their topic of choice. • Input/Reactions will be allowed and discussed before Council makes a decision.

24. Terms of Office • If Council is on one-year terms, the members may serve for as many as they are elected. • If it is a two-year term, you may only serve one term but my not be reelected to serve consecutive terms. • Terms cannot exceed that of a two year.

26. How does the principal direct the completion of the budget?

27. Budgeting • It is not required but it is best practice. • School councils do have required decision making responsibilities regarding # of personnel which directly affects the budget.

28. Major driving force - CSIP Need as much stakeholder input as possible Role of principal – capacity builder (teachers teach, not principals) Convince teachers they have the right, responsibility, and capacity to serve as leaders

34. SB 226 did not pass There might possibly be language added to an existing piece of legislation, but as of now, there is no change in principal selection.

35. Things to consider when creating policies: • Is this within the authority of SBDM? If not, have we gained a waiver? • Will this positively affect the achievement of all students? • Does this reflect good educational practices? • Does this reflect what is best for our school? • Is the policy clear and easily understood? • Are there health and safety issues to consider? • Are there any legal or financial liabilities to consider? • Are there contractual issues that must be considered? • Can the policy be administered and enforced? • Is the policy consistent with state an/or federal laws and regulations?

36. SBDM does not have the authority to create policies in the following: • Personnel Evaluations • Setting graduation requirements • Deviate from the Pupil Progression, Promotion, and Grading Guidelines from the JC Board of Ed • Councils cannot establish a policy to pay their members • Procedures for removing Council members should not be part of the bylaws or school’s policies
