With Toni Skaggs, Director of GLASS retiring, it becomes necessary for the Lafayette School Corporation Board to approve the Authorization to Sign Agreements for Alternative Services and Private Residential School Placement by the new Director of GLASS, Lissa Stranahan. It is the administration’s recommendation that the Board approve this Authorization so LSC students can receive the necessary support as soon as a need arises.

7)F) Interlocal Agreement Termination
Presenter:
Les Huddle
Description:
With the Lafayette School Corporation Board of Trustees adopting an "open enrollment" policy, it will cause the current Interlocal Agreement with the Tippecanoe School Corporation to become obsolete. It is therefore recommended that the current Interlocal Agreement Termination Resolution be approved. The administration believes the Tippecanoe School Corporation will approve the same Termination Resolution during their June 14, 2023 meeting.

7)G) 2023-2024 Re-Opening Plan
Presenter:
Les Huddle
Description:
It is required for the Lafayette School Corporation to post our up-dated Re-Opening Plan every June and December to meet the U.S. Department of Education regulations. We are required to post the Re-Opening Plan because we are a public school corporation who received federal funds to assist our students in recovering from the academic loss caused by the pandemic years. We believe this will complete the required Re-Opening plans that must be posted.
