<br />VI. Staff <br /> <br />A. Identify the school staff composition. <br /> <br />The school will provide a ratio of 1: 15 in Kindergarten and 1: 20 in grades 1 sc <br />through 8th. In each level, there will be a unit leader who will conduct weekly <br />meetings with the particular unit and be the liaison to the administrative team to <br />ensure effective communication. We have budgeted for two paraprofessionals, an <br />administrative assistant and fInance manager. A Dean of Students & Families has <br />been budgeted to ensure that families and students academic, social, emotional and <br />physical needs are been addressed and met. <br /> <br />B. Provide a statement of assurance that all teaching staff will be appropriately <br />licensed. <br /> <br />Family Academy assures that teachers hired to work will hold valid licenses to <br />perform the services for which they are employed, as defIned by section 122A.15, <br />subdivision 1 of the statutes. <br /> <br />All teachers and staff will be required to have 2 percent of the nwnber of hours <br />worked each year of in service in order ensure employment for the following school <br />year. This in service requirement nor only assures that the staff will have sufficient <br />course work for renewing their licenses but also that they are keeping current with <br />new and innovative ideas in the education fIeld. In addition, staff will be required to <br />have background studies done before they are hired for any position in the school. <br /> <br />C. Indicate how the school plans to track staff licensure and maintain current <br />records. <br /> <br />Family Academy will require each teacher to provide a current copy of the state <br />teaching license when they submit an application for employment. A separate <br />personnel file will be maintained for each teacher. Each teacher will be advised of <br />the school's policy for meeting continuing education requirements. The school's <br />human resource director will oversee the teacher's personnel statuS and status of <br />continuing education requirements. Verification of the teacher's license will also be <br />verified via the on-line licensure data base provided by the Department-of Children, <br />Families and Learning. <br /> <br />Family Academy Proposal - Page 14 <br />February 29, 2000 <br />
