| In support of a staffing recommendation for the 2021-2022 school year that was approved by the School Board on March 25| 2021| the Administration developed a listing of courses expected to run at each school during that year. That listing was referenced several times during the HR Committee meeting of March 2| 2021 (the records of which have been removed from Boarddocs as of this date)| the Committee of the Whole Meeting on March 17| 2021| and the Regular Action Meeting of March 25| 2021 at which the School Board approved the recommendation of 606.7 FTE employees| at a cost to taxpayers of likely over $50|000|000. Furthermore| various extracts from this listing of these courses were presented for School Board review to inform their thinking in the decision to approve or reject the staffing recommendation| course listings that were discussed at length by the School Board President and other School Board members. This request is to see the full listing of courses developed by the Administration for each school as part of that staffing exercise. Please do not confuse this request with one asking for a listing of courses that WILL run at each school next year. This is a request for the complete listing of courses subsumed in the School Board’s approval of the employment of 606.7 FTE employees for the 2021-22 school year on March 25| 2021| a discrete and completed event. |
