It is recommended that a majority of the money go to district and attendance center plans. This is based on the research that shows the professional development most likely to improve student achievement is a collective-team effort, data driven, frequent and sustained over time and connects pedagogy, content and students.

8. New Business
8.1 Consider Approving Request for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for the 2020-2021 School Year Special Education Deficit
      ACTION
      As a standard practice, administration asks the board to consider approving the application for additional allowable growth and supplemental aid. In addition to the overall
general operating fund budget, school districts monitor revenues and expenditures of the special education program and report annually to the Department of Education.
Districts can spend more than they take in for special education, but the excess expense must be covered with general fund dollars. When the district reports a negative fund
balance in special education, that state allows districts to recover the spending authority for those expenditures. For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the district spent
   approximately $241,325.13 ($365,235.41 for 2019-20 and $339,270.92 for 2018-19) more than receivable revenue and is approximately $123,910.28 less than the previous
year. The School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) will consider allowing recovery of the budget authority in October. Administration recommends approving the Request
for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for FY21 Special Education deficit.

     Approve request for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for the 2020-2021 school special education deficit of $241,325.13.

ACTION
Policy 804.5 – Stock Epinephrine Auto-Injector Supply is included in IASB policies. After review by the CCSD Board policy committee, it is being recommended to add to
the district policies. Policy 502.11 – Use of Video Cameras on School Property was initially approved on March 12, 2012 and was revised on December 12, 2018. IASB
(Iowa Association of School Boards) implemented policy 804.6 (Use of Recording Devices on School Property) and its Regulation. The policy committee is recommending
to rescind its policy of 502.11 and have it replaced with 804.6.
RECOMMENDATION

manage stressors and refuel energy for work, family, and leisure pursuits. Catchlife 30 features daily health check-ins that can be completed in five minutes or less and
    doesn’t require a fitness tracker. The five areas of focus include hydration, physical activity, nutrition, social-emotional health, and sleep. The cost is $10 per person. This

8.9 Consider Approving the Home School Assistance Teacher Contracts for 2021-2022
      ACTION
      There are 21 enrolled in Competent Private Instruction (CPI) and 6 enrolled in the Independent Private Instruction (IPI). Students who are enrolled under CPI provide us
with the curriculum they are taught and are eligible for dual enrollment. Students who completed the IPI forms do not have to report any academic progress and are not
eligible for any services in the school. Of the 21 CPI students, 11 are eligible for dual enrollment. Dual enrollment allows them to attend classes, participate in field trips, use
the library, and participate in school activities. These students generate revenue depending on their grade and the extent they participate in CCSD classes and activities.
Eleven of the 21 students are interested in participating in the Home School Assistance (HSA) program. The HSA program provides a teacher who oversees their academic
work (15 hours per quarter per student). In exchange for that oversight, the district receives some funding to pay a certified teacher to provide the services. When the
enrollment count is complete, you will see partial numbers, which indicates the weighting CCSD gets for students who are not full-time. Mrs. Davies is a certified teacher
who at one time worked as a special education teacher in our district. As in the past, we have had an agreement with Mrs. Davies to serve as our HSA teacher for those
students who would like her assistance. By having her serve as the HSA teacher, she receives $15 per hour per student for up to 60 hours per student each year. Parents of the
students in the program are asked to sign a time sheet that verifies Mrs. Davies has actually provided services for those students at the end of each quarter. Mrs. Davies will
meet with Mrs. McKinnon and Mrs. Bergman quarterly to verify student progress and accurate invoicing.
      RECOMMENDATION
Approve contracts with Lexy Davies to serve as the Home School Assistance teacher for the 2021-2022 school year.

8.10 Consider Not Offering Early Retirement for the 2021-2022 School Year
       ACTION
     Early retirement is intended to benefit the district’s fiscal position and quality student services. Due to Auditor recommendations, state and national teacher shortages, and
    CCSD district budget guarantee status, it is being recommended not to offer early retirement for the 2021-2022 school year. With declined enrollment and COVID, the
    district was identified with Budget Guarantee (Iowa Code 257.14) status which is passed on to the taxpayers through property tax.
RECOMMENDATION
        Approve not offering early retirement for the 2021-2022 school year.

8.11 Consider Approving Early Notification Incentives for Certified Staff
        ACTION
        Administration is recommending early incentives for certified staff who will not be returning to teach for the 2022-2023 school year. This supports early hiring to fill those
open positions. Employees cannot retract once Board approved. In order to qualify for $1500, written notification must be sent to Mrs. McKinnon by November 5^th at 4:00
p.m. In order to qualify for $1000, written notification must be sent to Mrs. McKinnon by January 7th at 4:00 p.m. In order to qualify for $500, written notification must be
    sent to Mrs. McKinnon by February 4^th at 4:00 p.m. These dates will allow potential approvals at the next week’s Board meeting.

    electronic notification by February 4^th to Mrs. McKinnon by 4:00 p.m.
