Tony Blackman explains the problem with BESE notification of employment changes (21-May-2011

GCACS Board Meeting 21-May-2011

Tony Blackman explains why Commissioner Chester says that the GCACS failed to meet the BESE's Condition #8.

The full text of Condition #8:

"GCACS must report all changes in staff to the Charter School Office within a
reasonable period of time of knowledge of the change but in any event no later than 48 hours after knowledge of the change."

The Charter School Office, in its May 20th report:

"Staffing changes such as the dismissal of the Arts Integration Specialist and a grade 4/5 teacher were not reported to the Department as required. The replacement grade 4/5 teacher and the newly hired Dean of Students were not reported to the Department as required. Newly hired special education staff including a teacher, a contracted testing service provider, a dean of students, and an administrative assistant was not reported to the Department as required. Site visitors requested an update on staffing changes -- explaining how staffing decisions were made and a current staff roster (indicating full or part-time staff). As of May 18, 2011, the CSO has not received this information."
