Local needs vary considerably across the state, and districts have flexibility to allocate funds to address their specific challenges. Grantees may choose to implement evidence based suggestions provided in this Guide or identify their own strategies aligned to at least one of the seven focus areas described in the Grant Parameters:
The state seeks to help districts and education partners tackle the deep and complex challenges of educator workforce shortages. The goal is to harness innovation and equity with focused areas of support to accomplish strategic aims related to state goals for the educator workforce and student outcomes. The grant application and reporting process, co-developed by the EAC and ODE, uses an approach which emphasizes inclusive, evidence-based decision-making to support districts in identifying root causes and designing equitable and innovative strategies that can address their challenges.

10.G. Second Read: Adopt Policy Rule Updates
Presenter:
Superintendent Tony Scurto
Description:
The Board shall exercise its rule-making power by adopting policies consistent with the Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules or opinions of a court of competent authority, for its own governance and for the organization and operation of Lane ESD. The Board accepts the definition of policy set forth by the National School Boards Association:
School Board policies are statements which set forth the purposes and prescribe in general terms the organization and program of a school system. They create a framework within which the superintendent and his/her staff can discharge their assigned duties with positive direction. They tell what is wanted.
Such policies may be adopted, amended or repealed at any Board meeting provided that the proposed adoption, amendment or repeal shall have been proposed at a previous Board meeting and, once proposed, shall have remained on the agenda of each succeeding meeting until approved or rejected and except that the Board may adopt, amend or repeal policies at any meeting of the Board in the event of an actual emergency, as determined at the sole discretion of the Board. Additionally, when in the best interests of the district immediate adoption of a proposed policy is necessary, the Board may adopt such policy at the first meeting in which it is presented. Policies shall be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of four or more Board members. Policies and amendments adopted by the Board will be attached to, and made a part of, the minutes of the meeting at which they are adopted and also will be included in the ESD’s policy manual. The Board shall communicate its position on matters of public policy and shall interact with the community, other governmental bodies and agencies and the media through the spokesperson designated by the Board. The Board of Directors will adopt policy updates related to Sexual Harassment and Remote Work that were first read at the May 2022 meeting.

10.H. Implement Board Policy GCPA: Layoff/Recall, Licensed Staff
Presenter:
Board Chair, Superintendent
Description:
Layoff- Licensed Staff
When the Lane ESD Board determines that a layoff of staff is necessary, it will discuss the matter at a regular or special Board meeting and will consider such factors and alternatives it deems necessary to arrive at a decision. Layoff may take place under the following conditions: 1. The ESD’s lack of funds to continue its educational program at its anticipated level; 2. Elimination or adjustment of classes due to an administrative decision; 3. Other reasons as determined by the Board. Nothing in this policy, however, is intended to interfere with the right of the ESD to discharge, remove or nonrenew the contract of a probationary teacher or to not extend the contract of or dismiss a contract teacher pursuant to the provisions of the Accountability for Schools for the 21st Century Law. Grant funded positions which are posted and hired as having a specific, limited term of employment, shall have no reduction-in-force rights. Staff positions of Coordinator, Consultant and Specialist, who perform services for which a TSPC license is not required or for which a TSPC license could be required, in the discretion of the Board, shall be considered ‘Licensed Staff’ for the purpose of this policy and any administrative regulation adopted to implement this policy. This reduction is due to a reduction in service orders for the Lane School program:
