Board approves one bilingual certification exception; annual bilingual/ESL evaluation shows steady progress

Dr. Smart asked the board to approve a single bilingual certification exception for a long-term substitute at Kissam Intermediate to maintain compliance with state certification requirements while the district continues recruiting. "Approving this exception will keep us in compliance with TA requirements and ensures that our students continue receiving the instructional support that they need," Dr. Smart said. Trustees moved, seconded and approved the exception.
