Subject:
10. DELIBERATED ITEMS/DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORTS
Subject:
10.1. Amendment to 2019-2020 School Year Calendar – April 28, 2020 – Primary Day
Rationale:
The Presidential Primary will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2020. Based on the 19-20 school year calendar, school is in session. The Policy Committee discussed safety concerns associated with having students and staff in session while members of the public are in the school buildings to vote. It is recommended that the 19-20 School Year calendar be amended to reflect that staff and students will not be in session on Tuesday, April 28, 2020.
Subject:
10.2. Addition of IT Technician Position
Rationale:

Currently, we have a total of 6 IT Techs that service multiple schools, and an average of 1,800 devices per tech (which is exceedingly high for the industry).  Upon the analysis of our City IT Director, he believes that we need at least 3 additional technicians to support the equipment we have in place, and this is the first request toward that goal. 

The Personnel Committee met to discuss this need, and agreed to forward this request to the full Board.  The Operations Committee was also informed of the need.
