1. Promotion / Transfer / Vacancies – CCASA continues to insist that all administrators be notified of administrative vacancies. CCASA proposed that all school-based administrative vacancies be announced via email immediately following the executive cabinet meeting held Tuesday of each week. Interested administrators will have until Friday of the week the vacancy is announced to call the person indicated in the email to express his/her interest. The District will not be required to interview all interested candidates and may announce the individual selected as early as the following Tuesday. CCASA also restated its concern that a written region transfer agreement be developed.

Mr. Garcia stated he was in agreement with the CCASA proposal and requested that the proposal be included in the Unifier. Additionally, Mr. Garcia will request that Dr. Goldman and Dr. Rice work with CCASA to develop a written region transfer agreement.

2. Custodial Issues – CCASA has discussed this item with the superintendent in the two previous advisory council meetings. The superintendent was asked to provide a status report on the rewrite of the regulation regarding custodial supervision and on the delivery of custodial services study being conducted by Dr. Herron.

Mr. Garcia stated that he expected the revision of the regulation to be completed by the end of February. He reiterated his intent to provide full time custodial substitutes to assist schools with vacancies and absenteeism. Additionally, Mr. Garcia stated that Dr. Herron will complete the custodial services study by the end of the school year.

3. Budget Cuts – CCASA indicated that administrators were pleased to receive first hand information provided by the superintendent during the District budget information meetings at Cashman Field.

Mr. Garcia reiterated his intent to provide critical information to administrators as soon as possible and prior to release to the media. He stated that the Board will vote on the budget at the March 11, 2002, meeting. He is also requesting an additional $1.8 million from the state. The TOSA count will be provided as soon as that information is compiled.

6. District Revision of Policies and Regulations – CCASA requested that the opinions of field administrators be sought prior to changing District policies and regulations that impact school administrators.

Mr. Garcia agreed that if a change in a policy or regulation will affect schools, that prior communication must occur with the principals who will be impacted.

7. Accountability Plan Implementation – CCASA previously expressed its belief to the superintendent that the A+ in Action Plan must be consistently implemented in all regions. While Mr. Garcia previously agreed with CCASA’s position, nothing observable has occurred to ensure consistent implementation of the plan. Mr. Garcia was asked to provide an update.

Mr. Garcia reiterated his belief that the A+ in Action plan must be consistently implemented in each of the regions. He added that they were waiting for the plan to be finalized.

8. CCSD Delivery Model / Evaluation – Research – Design – CCASA outlined its participation in the recent meeting held with the consultants hired by the District to make recommendations regarding the organization of the evaluation, research, and design model. CCASA expressed support for the work of the consultants and agreed that a new position may need to be at the region superintendent salary range to be effective. CCASA asked the superintendent to discuss his timeline for the completion of this study.

Mr. Garcia indicated that the consultant’s report will be provided to him in a couple of weeks and when it is received that it will be shared with everyone. Mr. Garcia stated there is a real need to evaluate programs so to determine what works. He added that this position will be critical to the success of the District.
