XII.p. Approve the Waiver Requests for Career Technical Education Instructors
Speaker:
Angela Herrera, Chief Academic Officer
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Angela Herrera, Chief Academic Officer
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to publicly acknowledge the English Learner Authorization status and approve the waiver requests for four (4) Career Technical Education teachers who possess preliminary credentials, but do not yet hold English Learner Authorization as required by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Rationale:
As is required by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the Board must publicly approve waiver requests for Career Technical Education teachers who possess preliminary credentials, but do not yet hold an English Learner Authorization. In August 2017, Lavada Fallon was hired as a Hospitality teacher (grades 11-12) at Discovery High School. In August 2016, Cor Morton was hired as a Health Pathways teacher (grade 12) at Natomas High School. In March 2019, Katie Cichy was hired as a Public Safety teacher (grades 9-12) at Inderkum High School. Elle Steele was hired as a Bike Tech teacher (grades 11-12) at Inderkum High School and will start in August 2019.  

Because all four (4) teachers have received their preliminary credential through experience in their respective profession instead of the traditional university credentialing route, they are unable to receive an Emergency Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development (CLAD) permit which authorizes instruction to English Learners and must apply for a waiver.

As these four (4) teachers complete coursework to clear their preliminary credentials, they will receive the necessary training and the English Learner Authorization will be embedded in their clear credentials. Until such time as they obtain clear credentials, the District must submit a waiver request each year to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
 
XIII. ACTION ITEMS
Quick Summary / Abstract:
PROCEDURE: Formal action is required on each item which frequently includes discussion prior to the motion. Time is given for public comments.
XIII.a. Approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators"
Speaker:
Angela Herrera, Chief Academic Officer
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Angela Herrera, Chief Academic Officer
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators". This item meets the requirements of Education Code 44300(a)(3)(B) and California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Rationale:
Districts are required to annually submit a Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) based on anticipated areas of need in case they are unable to find fully credentialed teachers that meet their needs.  Although the District is diligent in advertising, recruiting and hiring fully prepared teachers, there may be an instance where we would need to hire someone on an emergency or limited assignment permit in certain subject areas. We will have trained, qualified teachers, but some may need a provisional permit to work in their specific assignment. To qualify for as few as one provisional document from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the District must have attempted all of these search efforts. In order for our teachers to be eligible for provisional or emergency permits in certain authorizations, the Board must adopt a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators." The Board and the public must have the opportunity to see the number of emergency permits the District reasonably expects to request from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the reasons for such requests.

Our anticipated needs at this time are for staff serving in the following areas:
  • English Learners – We will continue to need emergency CLAD permits for some new hires, particularly out-of-state-trained teachers
  • Special Education – All Special Education positions continue to be recognized as statewide shortage areas
  • Science, Math and World Language – Positions continue to be difficult to fill
