7.B.1. Approve Administrative Rule Waiver Application: Long-Term Substitute
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to Approve the Administrative Rule Waiver Application: Long-Term Substitute. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
Due to a mid-year vacancy, securing a certified teacher for the position has proven challenging, as mid-year hiring limits the availability of qualified candidates. To ensure continuity of instruction, we are requesting a waiver to allow a qualified long-term substitute who will be certified by the end of the school year and is already under contract for the following year to fulfill this role. With structured mentoring, principal oversight, and ongoing monitoring of student progress, this plan will maintain high instructional standards and support student success.

12.A. Approve First Reading of New Board Policy GCPB-E(2) - Acknowledgment of Liquidated Damages Form
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to Informational Reading of New Board Policy GCPB-E(2) - Acknowledgement of Liquidated Damages Form. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
Policy GCPB-E(2) Acknowledgment of Liquidated Damages Form ensures that certified staff members formally acknowledge the financial and professional consequences of resigning outside the contract renewal period. This document aligns with Board Policy GCPB and SDCL 13-42-10, outlining specific liquidated damages amounts and potential impacts on certification. By requiring employee initials and signatures, the form provides clear accountability and transparency in the resignation process.
