Board to consider $12,240 consultant to finish dual-language lesson plans
Summary
A staff member asked the board to authorize up to $12,240 from Title III/LIEP funds to hire a consultant to help finish daily lesson plans for the two‑way dual language program through December; the board asked questions and asked staff to bring the item back for action.
A district staff member asked the board to approve payment to a consultant (Danny Salto) for $12,240, funded from Title III / LIEP, to help finish daily lesson plans for the two‑way dual language program through December. The presenter said the consultant's role is a time‑limited, hourly engagement to prepare daily lessons and to bridge training for a newly hired teacher on special assignment (TOSA).
Board members asked how the consultant’s cost compares to hiring an annual TOSA or using district staff and whether the consultant rate represents a full‑time annual cost; staff clarified the figure covers specific hours and is substantially less than typical day‑rate consultants. The board indicated consensus to bring the item back for a formal vote with any clarifying detail requested by members.
