The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires each local education agency to publicly report progress of the LEA and its campuses toward meeting the highly qualified teacher requirements. The Elementary School is 100% HQ, the Middle School is 95.35% Highly Qualified and the High School is 100% Highly Qualified for the 2009-2010 school year. I will review the numbers for you at the board meeting for the district and each campus.

3.F. Consideration/Approval of Ralls ISD selling One (1) Attendance credit to Sundown ISD for the 2009-2010 school year.
Description:
Sundown ISD is a Chapter 41 School District, or a property wealthy district, and contacted Ralls ISD to enter into an Option 4 contract for 2009-2010 school year, as we have done in the past. Option 4 is the selling of WADA to a chapter 41 school district. Ralls ISD will not gain monetarily from the sale, but we do gain from the Region 17 Technology Consortium. By the district selling one WADA to Sundown ISD our state aide payments from the state will be reduced accordingly during the school year. This contract is for one year only and has to be renegotiated every year. We will receive a payment from Sundown ISD.
|
|
3.G. Consideration/Approval to approve the Official Student Transfer list for 2009-10.
Description:
This lists the transfers in and out of the District, with a Report on Compliance of the laws and regulations as governed by TEA. The TEA Transfer site does not reflect the change in law of 2 years ago, allowing a 10% change in ethnic diversity before non-compliance. The report shows us as non-compliant, but we have contacted TEA to verify that this is not accurate, and RISD is in fact, in compliance with TEA.
|
|
3.H. Consideration/approval of the 2010-2013 RISD Technology Plan.
Description:
The district is required to have a technology plan in place for each school year. Districts have the option of making technology plans for one year or up to three years. Our district has chosen a 3 year plan. I will review the plan at the board meeting.
