Background:
|
At its November 19, 2020, meeting, the Board referred Resolution 2021R-016 by Director Baez and Director Peterson to the Committee on Accountability, Finance, and Personnel.
The Administration is in agreement with the resolution, and is suggesting its adoption with some amendments to the Further Resolved portions of the resolution.
Regarding the amendments to Further Resolved #14, the district's Department of Organizational Development/Induction and Support currently provides support and resources to all new teachers. The addition of a fourth induction and support mentor position dedicated to bilingual teacher candidates within the current structure will align efforts for greater efficiency and effectiveness relative to expertise and caseload.
Regarding the amendments to Further Resolved #15, the Administration will work to build recruitment efforts to establish a second cohort. Beginning a second cohort in Summer 2021 as opposed to Spring 2021 will allow the necessary time to be successful in establishing a second cohort.
Regarding the last two Further Resolved (#18 and #19), the Administration suggests utilizing the existing Bilingual Task Force, in collaboration with the Department of Bilingual and Multicultural Education, as the vehicle to plan and implement bilingual staffing. This will serve to align efforts for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
