August 13, 2020 at 6:30 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Rationale:  1995 Chevy Truck 1500 
and
2007 Ford F350 4x2 Diesel
 

Rationale: 
The General Assembly made significant changes to several statutes that govern child abuse reporting requirements. Two of the most notable changes are: (1) the requirement to have one employee designated as the Child Abuse Coordinator at each school; and (2) the prohibition against notifying parents/guardians of suspected child abuse that occurs on school property. We have revised our model policy to align with the new law.

This policy, as recommended by TSBA, will replace our current Policy 6.409 Child Abuse and Neglect.

 

Rationale: 

1. Proposal for Sullivan County Schools to reimburse the yearly Medical Exam Fee for the DOT physical to Full-Time and Substitute bus drivers employed by Sullivan County Schools.  This does not include drivers employed by Contractors providing transportation services to Sullivan County Schools.

 

The current rate for a DOT (Department of Transportation) Medical Exam is $75.00.

 

Drivers are required to have a new physical every 12 months.

 

Sullivan County employs 22 Full-Time drivers and currently 1 Substitute driver.

 

$1,725.00 for current employees plus any additional Substitute Drivers hired.

Rationale: 

1. Proposal to increase Substitute Driver pay for bus drivers employed by Sullivan County Schools from $55.00 per day to $68.64 per day.  This does not include drivers employed by Contractors providing transportation services to Sullivan County Schools.

 

Daily rate of $55.00 and $68.64 are based on a 6 hour day.  ($9.17 hour to $11.44 hour)

 

Increase aligns Substitute Driver pay to Full-Time driver pay with 0-3 years experience.

Rationale:  The attached Privacy Release form needs to be added to the Student's R&R Handbook.  See attached.
