FEDERAL STATUTE: n/a FLORIDA STATUTE: HB 641 and HB 5001 SCHOOL BOARD POLICY: n/a EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: HB 641 and 5001 created and funded a new allocation within the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). The purpose of these House Bills was to increase compensation, to at least $47,500.00 per teacher, for full-time classroom teachers to assist school districts in their efforts to recruit and retain classroom teachers and instructional personnel. In this regard, the implementation process requires the Superintendent and staff to submit a proposed salary distribution plan to the School Board for approval. Upon approval, the plan must be submitted to the FDOE by October 1, 2020, in order for the funds to be released to the District. A tentative agreement between the District and the CCEA on salary issues was reached on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, a day after the Board's regular Board Meeting which necessitated the calling of Special Board Meeting to address this matter. The District's submission to the FDOE must be accompanied by charter school board approved distribution plans of the respective District sponsored charter schools in Collier County. LEGAL APPROVAL: The item was reviewed and approved by Jon Fishbane, District General Counsel.
