Approve Resolution No. 06-19: Teacher Certification



Rationale:

Approval of Resolution No. 06-19 will correctly authorize the assignment of one certificated staff member who is credentialed in a subject area other than the core academic subject area included in their teaching assignment this year.  The use of the resolution approach is the appropriate action allowed by the Education Code that authorizes various options for staffing, departmentalized classes, including the assignment of a teacher in a position which he/she is not credentialed.  A local district is permitted to examine the background of teachers who have the training and experience to competently teach students in areas where the teacher has developed the requisite skills and knowledge.  The teacher covered by this resolution has at least 18 semester units or nine upper division units or graduate work in the subject in which he/she is being assigned to teach.

Barbara Archer, who originally nominated Ms. Klineberg,  nominates Ryan Davis to serve the balance of the term, expiring June 30, 2019.






 
VI.f. Approval of Sale of Surplus Property
Recommended Motion:

Staff recommends that the Board of Education authorize the Chief Business and Operations Officer to identify, declare and dispose of personal property in accordance with Section 17545 of the Education Code

The governing board may choose to conduct a sale of personal property under this section by means of an auction, or sale, conducted by employees of the district or other public agency or by contract with a public auction firm. The Board of Education may delegate to the district employee responsible for conducting the sale and the authority to transfer the personal property.
