Background: In September 2017, the Board took action regarding developing a Substitute Teacher Taskforce. The taskforce was to include two representatives from the administration, two representatives from the MTEA, a Board member, a representative of the Office of Accountability and Efficiency, and two parent/community representatives. The taskforce was assembled and met several times to discuss and construct options regarding the following topics as outlined in the Board's action:

1. providing substitute teachers to the classroom;
2. reviewing hard-to-fill positions; and
3. possible options for providing healthcare to substitute teachers.

In November 2017, an initial report of the Substitute Teacher Taskforce was provided to the Board.

This report is an update to the November 2017 report. Items of discussion by the Taskforce since that time included recommendations concerning substitute teacher eligibility for benefits, professional development, and other support for the substitute teachers in the classroom. Attached is a summary of the Committee's findings and recommendations.
Fiscal Impact Statement: Does not authorize expenditures.
