Coverage During Leave of Absence
1. What has been the recent annual and monthly trend of work performed by
the position? Birth to 3 Program enrollment is up significantly from this time
last year. We currently have 98 kids enrolled, and we had 70 some at this time last
year. Our teacher is going on family leave sometime the last half of December.
2. Who fills in for the position during absences for PTO? The position is
currently working 35 hours per week and the request is to fill with an employee
agreement for a special education teacher for 8 hours per week (covered by
ARRA funds). Other coverage is provided by current staff (they will cover service
coordination and the teacher will do evaluations and play group).
3. What will be the impact to the public of a delay in filling the position? We
will not be able to comply with the federal mandate to provide special instruction
and assessment.
4. How much is the net savings for each month the position is not filled? No net
savings because the staff has PTO to cover the leave of absence. The additional
expense will be covered with ARRA funds.
