8.5. First Warning of DBS Code: 4111/4211-Recruitment & Selection
Rationale:
We currently have DBS Code 4111 and DBS Code 4211 Recruitment and Selection and each is identical to the other. One is supposed to refer to certified staff (and is included in the certified staff section of the policy manual) and the other is supposed to refer to non-certified staff (and is included in the non-certified section of the policy manual), but both currently refer to certified staff. We are making corrections and also significantly revising both. They will still be identical, but will now correctly reference both certified and non-certified staff and will be cross-referenced and placed in the appropriate sections of the policy manual. These revisions have been recommended by CABE. Second warning/adoption will be on the 4/27/09 agenda.

9. OLD BUSINESS
|
10. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
|
10.1. Enrollment 4/1/09
Rationale:
Since the last report in March there has been a decrease of four students in total districtwide.
Kindergarten had an increase of one student in the A.M. and a decrease of one student in the P.M. Grades 2 and 3 each have had one student leave the district as a result of families moving out of town. Grade 9 had one student move into the district from Salzburg, Austria and one student move out of the district as a result of the family relocating. Grade 11 has had a drop of two students due to an exchange student returning to her home country and a second student moving out of town as a result of the family relocating. All other grades have remained the same resulting in a total enrollment of 1,724 in our district.
There has been an addition of three students assigned to outside placements in our special education program.
