SCHOOL BOARD
In
regards to the Sanborn Central School District being designated as a school who
failed to meet one or both of the accountabilities for teacher compensation
required by law, the following is the explanation that has
been discussed between the district and the Department of
Education.
The
district had been made aware of some discrepancies in reporting on teacher
compensation from the FY2016 and FY2017 years which lead to the
district being flagged for failure to meet teacher compensation
accountabilities required by law, SDCL 13-13-73.6. In working with the
Department of Education on this, it was discovered that two errors regarding
how two separate salaries of teachers were reported incorrectly during the
FY2016 and FY2017 as the cause of the issue. The first issue was that a
teacher had taken some time off without pay. The actual salary paid out
was not the same as what was reported, causing a discrepancy. The other
issue was the extended contract of a teacher was submitted as part of the
reporting in FY2016, and in FY2017 it was not, due to the regulations stating
that those extended portions of a given contract are not a part of the required
submission. As the FY2017 reported salary was lower than the FY2016
reported salary, another discrepancy that caused the appearance
of lower than should be compensation for the teachers. These two mild
errors/misunderstandings made it appear that the teacher compensation had
decreased from FY2016 to FY2017, thus the reason for the district being
considered non-compliant. The total teacher compensation for the district
in FY2016 with corrections that were made to address the issue is $961,259.
That moved the district’s new target for teacher compensation for the FY2017 to
$1,048,639. In the FY2017, the district spent $1,049,805 on teacher
compensation, putting the district in compliance. The corrections that
were needed for the FY2016 are not able to be made any longer, so the district
will submit a waiver to the Dept of Ed stating that the targets were calculated
wrong based on incorrect data reported in FY2016, clearing up this issue.
ACADEMICS
Parents of students grades 6-12!!!! A reminder that every
parent and student (unless you have overdue bills with the school) is welcome
to a parent portal. The portal can be accessed from any computer or
phone. This is a great way of seeing assignments, when they are due,
points given, attendance records, teacher comments, and the list goes on!
If you are having problems with your portal, need an account set up, or want to
see if your student has one and is using it just contact Mary at mary.ackman@k12.sd.us
