6.A. Consider and Take Action on Educator Evaluation Waiver for 2019-2020
Description:
This waiver is from TEA, as per the Commissioner. The actual waiver will be filed through our TEAL system, and it does require approval by the Board. I will be submitting this waiver request after Principal input on which parts need to be waived or to waive the requirement in its entirety. There are options for each, based on the status of educator evaluation at the time of school closure.

6.B. Consider and take action on authorizing the Superintendent to submit waivers on behalf of the Harleton ISD
Description:
This is from the TEA Commissioner, to allow for the timely submission of waivers due to rapidly changing requirements due to the COVID-19. Any waivers submitted will be communicated to you prior to the submission, and each waiver will come back to the Board at a future Board Meeting for ratification.

6.C. Consider and Take Action on a "One-Time Modification of District Policies and Procedures on Grading and Related Issues"
Description:
The Principals are working on suggestions to our grading guidelines for the school closure. We will develop a hybrid system, so that we can finalize grades for all kids once we return to school or if we do not return to school this school year. This resolution will give us the flexibility that we will need to initiate a consistent plan across all grade levels. We, in no way, plan to allow for this school closure to negatively impact a student's academic standing, as it stood at the last day of in-person instruction.
