Item Title:Additional Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for the 2013-14 School Year and Approval of Resolution Number 2013-14/37
Agenda Title:Additional Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for the 2013-14 School Year and Approval of Resolution Number 2013-14/37
Background:

 

One of the requirements of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) is that we as a District have a Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators filed each year if we anticipate employing teachers who are not fully credentialed, e.g. on Emergency CLAD/BCLAD, Limited Assignment, Emergency Resource Specialist, or Emergency Library Permits.  The original of this form was filed in August 2013 based on projected needs. A revised Declaration of Need was submitted in January but needs to be acted upon as an action item, not a consent item. We have a number of special education teachers who are authorized with a mild/moderate or learning handicapped credential but have not completed their Autism (AASE) certificates. They will be enrolling in the AASE program. We need to apply for Limited Assignment Permits in Special Education: Autism authorization. 
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve as an action item (per the Commission on Teacher Credentialing), the Revised Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for the 2013-14 school year and pass the attached Resolution Number 2013-2014/-37
