I received a memo today that the first portion of the 2012-13 Legislative Supply Money will be available for reimbursement after Wednesday, September 26.  For now, full-time teachers have access to $100 while part-time teachers have access to $50.  Final amounts will not be determined until after the October 1 count and FTE reports are finalized.  I will let you know those amounts as soon as I know.

Educators not working directly with students are not eligible for the money.  This includes:

• Accountability and Program Services specialists
• ALS specialists
• Applied Technology coordinators and specialists
• BYU Partnership facilitators and CFA's
• Compliance and Special Programs specialists
• Curriculum and Staff Development specialists and consultants
• Information Systems specialists
• School Nurses
• Special Education TAs and specialists
• Students Intervention Services counselors and specialists

DAC - September 2011

The District Advisory Committee met last evening.  We discussed the results of the high school parent teacher conference survey from last spring.  DAC will be looking at options for restructuring HS PTC.

I am going to be on a committee to evaluate the transfer, placement, and hiring process.

The year round to traditional pay issues was discussed again.  Kyle Hansen, HR Director of Licensed Recruitment, is going to find out how many elementary teachers leave prior to the end of November in order to determine the cost of allowing teachers who move from a YR to a traditional schedule to stay on their 12-month YR pay schedule.

The law surrounding Legislative Supply Money states that "a teacher on salary schedule steps one through three teaching in grade . . .", which poses a problem since we have not had steps two of the last three years.  John Larsen in Accounting said the state distributes the money based on CACTUS, which shows years of service, not step placement, so the District will distribute the money based on years also.

If an issue is not being resolved by your SAC, and it is an issue being faced by most schools throughout the District, let me know so I can bring that issue to DAC.

2011-2012 Legislative Supply Money

I have received a couple of emails about Legislative Supply Money.  There was money allocated.  Elementary teachers on Steps 1-3 will receive $250.  Secondary teachers on Steps 1-3 will receive $200.  Elementary teachers on Steps 4+ will receive between $150-200, and secondary teachers on Steps 4+ will receive between $100-150.  These amounts are determined the first of December when the final allocation from the state comes to the District.

All schools will receive $100 per full time and $50 per part time teacher the end of September.  If you are Step 4+, I would recommend not spending more than $100 until the full amount is known.
