Would you like to recuse yourself for the entire uh Yeah, that's fine. I don't have any. Will recuse himself due to a family member being on the list for tonight. All right. So, um kind of want to give you guys where we stand right now. We have six professional jobs out there that open the bill from now between now and August 11th which is not badly around a little bit more than that last year at this time. Um service we actually look really good in service. Uh the dominoes are almost stopped probably by August that we'll have all the dominoes up at that point. Um so that's a plus two. That's a gold minus
005to have that done by July 30th every year. done. Um so we should be good to go with that. Um on this agenda and agenda is going to be loaded with longterm stuff. Last year we did the same thing. We brought all of our long our second meeting in July. And what that is doing is just giving our principles knowing that they're going to have someone to fill those positions. It also allows us bring these folks in for our new teacher academy to get them with the same training that our new teachers get even if they've been longterm with us. all of these have past few years. So, something that we're also trying to work on with this is we have four of these folks that are listening here this evening are already working towards
006getting their permit for their alternative certification to where they'll be fully certified. One of them they can just pass the practice test they're immediately certified they'll be done. So, it's not it's not an extensive list. I mean it is It's but it's about normal as to where it has been the past three years that I know of. We actually did some research on this for a legislative audit that this is pretty standard as where we've been over the past 2017. I think it's increased since of course but it's been pretty much consistent I precursor before we jump into this. Um, all right. So, on on the agenda under professional personnel, we're bring a long-term subse second grade teacher at Whitmer. We're bringing a long-term substitute first grade teacher with me. A long time substitute health
007P at all schools. Uh, a long-term seventh grade math teacher at Orange Springs Middle School. Long-term appreci number two there, we're just cleaning some things up on our end with the contracts, probationary contracts, continuing contracts. So, number two is changing all creationary continuing. Um, number three, we're asking for restructure with our a position that we approved back in early May, late April. We're asking it to go from 210 to 230. What we found in interviewing some folks with this is days a hold up for them. Most a teachers throughout the state are 230 or 240 uh just because of what's expected them over the summertime. We had a retirement recently that we're not filling. So we'reing that that salary we're exoring that salary. So we have some funds there. Bill is as you recall this
008is this job this year is being paid for out of funds out of general funds anyhow. So it shouldn't take care of that. Um and and this is at Mor Middle School and the other thing that we're looking to do is is that moving forward is this job 200 days would be covered out general fund and extra days covered out. Um over on service personnel we have a going to special education which is going to pleasant me. Then we have number two is just again those contracts under C. Um those folks there for letters kickoff training step over on agenda we have long-term sub multi high schoolm teacher long-term sub all schools music director Paul schools teacher Paul reserve personnel we have a transc to secretary 2 individual start Monday also have a custodian this
009is sub for us now full time high school starting and we are bringing on not one but two substitute bus operators which is huge those guys have finally made it through you see those posting numbers there way back in 02 uh we're well in the 025 160 or 026 160 now. So that's how long it takes for that that process to to go through. Um under letter C we're bring school under summer employment these are summer camps. Uh the first one is our three teachers and the second letter B is service personnel bus operators and letter D looking for curriculum writing letter B is forricurricul All those are from graduation. I move we accept the personnel presented. Sorry. I'll second that motion. I have a question as well though. Okay. Go ahead. You first. uh
010the long-term subs that are working to toward the um proper certification are protected in the sense that somebody who's fully certified can't pump them. Am I correct on that? Good. Good. So once they start that process and they get their permit, they get their ser there's I think four different options now from a different type of license. So once they get that they're good jobs down immediately and they're protected. But as you see here we keep these posted throughout maybe we get a December grad. Yes. Maybe we get you know with these different online colleges now they're graduating throughout the year right we may find someone and they all good. Thank you. I'm going down kind of the same vein as that conversation with my handy laptop here. I checking out to see what the
011postings were up for the six professional jobs that are still out there. Are we posting them again or what what is the status of this? So, there are a couple that are down that we're waiting to get interviews. Thank you. Okay. Great to hear. Most of them are in that boat. Most of them will be coming back out again tomorrow. Okay. Um there will be a you look tomorrow there's going to be a bunch on there with like these long-term sub postings but there are just a couple that we're wait a to go through and see check out.
