IV.A. Calendar Modification: Add 10 PD days to the school year.  Five days added at the beginning of the first semester, moving the student return date to August 20. Five days added to the beginning of the first semester, moving the student return date to January 12.  These 10 days will be use to provide in-depth teacher training on blended learning, distance delivery.  It will also give teachers time to prepare safety protocols for their classrooms, initial distance delivery plans, substitute plans.  The five days in January will also allow for teachers to return from holiday travel and isolate prior to student contact. 
IV.B. Migrant Literacy Grant- We received $1,680 on our Migrant Literacy Grant. This grant is designed to provide high quality literature for student's personal library. 
IV.C. School Improvement Grant- This grant is $35,000.  Part of the grant will be used to provide training to all staff in intervention strategies at the RTI conference in January.  The rest will be used to support literacy instruction and mentoring initiatives. 
IV.D. Boardsmanship Academy- September 19-20 Boardsmanship Academy will be virtual this year. 
IV.E. Emergency Sick Leave Policy AR4161/4261/4361- update to policy due to COVID-19 and AASB recommendation
IV.F. Crisis Response Plan/Pandemic/Epidemic Emergency Plan BP 6114 and 6114.4- update policy due to COVID-19 pandemic and AASB recommendation
IV.G. Revision to BP 4216- revision to match common accepted practice for 90 day probation period
IV.H. FY20 Budget adjustments- By law schools can not carryover more than 10% of general funds from year to year.  Moving any funds over the 10% from the general fund to special revenue funds is common practice.  TCSD has three special revenue funds Food Services, Computer Lab, and Deferred Maintenance and Safety fund.  
This year the Governor under authority of the Emergency Declaration waived the maximum carryover requirement.  Allowing districts to carry over all funds from FY20 to FY21.  By moving the funds forward to FY21 it allows districts to use those funds to help with funds lost due to lower student enrollments as well as cover extra expenses to prevent COVID-19 spread.  At the close of FY21 any unspent funds over the 10% threshold would be moved to special revenue funds.
