5.a.1) Leave of Absence Request - Laura Garcia
Description:
Mrs. Laura Garcia, Social Studies teacher at Crestwood High School, is requesting a one-year childcare leave of absence.  Her maternity leave under FMLA would begin on or around May 23, 2014 and continue through the end of the 2013-2014 school year.  She is requesting a leave of absence extension for the 2014-2015 school year for the purpose of caring for a family member.

According to the Crestwood Federation of Teachers contract, Section B Unpaid Leave, subsection 5:

A maternity leave of absence shall be granted, to the teacher selecting not to use personal illness leave for childbirth, for the purpose of childbirth and subsequent childcare, for duration of up to one (1) year.  Upon the return from such leave, the teacher shall be placed at the same position on the salary schedule to which the teacher was entitled at the effective date of the leave and credited with seniority rights as if the teacher had been teaching during the leave, if return after initial year of leave.  Extensions shall not accrue seniority.

Laura is requesting to use her accumulated sick days with the balance of the leave being unpaid.

Recommended Action:  That the Crestwood Board of Education approve maternity leave of absence for Mrs. Laura Garcia from approximately May 23, 2014 with a leave of absence extension for the 2014-2015 school year.

9.a.2) 'Classrooms and Kids' Budget Proposal Resolution
Description:
Michigan public schools and the children we serve continue to face difficult economic and budget challenges.  These challenges today have resulted in circumstances that directly and negatively affect our children's education, learning and ability to compete for 21st century jobs.  These school cuts are directly impacting children, parents, teachers, school staff, administrators and the local community at large.  we recognize that the best way to fix our local schools and help our children learn is to restore full funding for our classrooms.  State-wide and regional educational organizations, including the Michigan Association of School Boards, working in partnership with parents, frontline educators, teachers and others have now proposed a "Classrooms and Kids" budget that will restore funds to kids in classrooms as a response to this challenge we face in education.

Recommended Action:  I recommend that the Crestwood Board of Education approve the 'Classrooms and Kids' budget proposal resolution as presented on Attachment 9.A.2.

Pursuant to state law, the revenue raised by the proposed enhancement millage will be collected by the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency and distributed to local public school districts within the boundaries of the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency based on pupil membership count.  Shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 per thousand dollars in taxable value) for a period of six (6) years, 2014-2019, inclusive, as new additional millage to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes.  It is estimated that 2 mills would raise approximately $80,000,000 when first levied in 2014.
