If an inclement weather event has been forecasted, Durham Public Schools (DPS) may close all sites; this includes schools and/or administrative buildings. No staff or students will occupy the facilities; therefore, no custodial services will be required.

When the inclement weather event has occurred, Service Solutions (SSC) will be compensated on a prorated earning scale. Payment of prorated services will conform to the following scale. DPS has a 21 day work month, and disburse $583,182.57 for custodial services. The monthly disbursement amount is divided by the day work month i.e.… $583,182.57 / 21 = $27,770.60. DPS will reduce monthly invoices to SSC by the number of inclement weather events during the month. One day equals $27,770.60,

    Case Study: Chester Upland School District

    In many countries, education funds come from local sources. However, all states have a duty to contribute towards costs that school districts incur in offering education to learners. In this case, both states and districts are deemed to have a formula that guide them in funding these costs. In addition, the formulas also help in distributing funds among the districts depending on factors such as enrollment of student levels, characteristics of students and local wealth. A funding formula helps in making sure that districts have enough funds thus increasing equity.…

    Case Study Of Birmingham Board Of Education

    Birmingham Board of Education approves contract for new superintendent in tight vote An employment contract for the city’s new superintendent of schools was narrowly approved earlier this month by the Birmingham Board of Education. At a special meeting convened on June 12, Kelley Castlin-Gacutan’s contract was approved following May’s unanimous vote to hire her. The contract vote was close, 5-4 for approval. Castlin-Gacutan, is expected to serve as a consultant until her job official begins on July 1. Following an hour spent discussing the “good name and character” of an individual, while in executive session, the board voted on a motion proposed by April Williams to reassess the offer to Castlin-Gacutan.…

    Case Study: Wedgefield Area School Dispute

    Wedgefield Area School Dispute Leaders in Orange County for the better part of a decade have been attempting to get approval for a new school in the neighborhood of Wedgefield, due to major population of the schools in the surrounding area. While the residents of this community wanted a solution but they did not want it to be near their homes because it would impact some of the activities that they enjoyed due to living in a more open area. (Breen, Roth) This issue arose a few years ago when the economy was growing and many people moved into the Wedgefield and Timber Springs area, causing the public school system to become very overcrowded.…

    Vancouver School Case Study

    On June 20, 2016, the Vancouver School Board (VSB) announces the names of 12 potential schools they plan to close by September 21, 2017. According to VSB chair Mike Lombardi, closing the 12 schools will save VSB $8.8 million dollars a year. The high operating costs of schools and the steady decline of students attending schools in Vancouver brought VSB to the decision of closing a number of schools to save costs (Global News). In 2004, VSB conducted a seismic evaluation on the schools in Vancouver, where “each building was divided into seismic blocks as defined by the Vancouver Building Bylaw and then rated in terms of its seismic risk.…

    After reviewing Shelby County Board of Education gift policy, I believe Brad would not be in compliance with the standards adopted. The policy states, “educational personnel are forbidden from accepting gifts or money that could possibly influence a student’s decision on any matter” (Shelby County Board of Education, 2010, pg. 3). Brad’s involvement with Tom could have a direct impact on how he performs in class, both behaviorally and academically. He may also choose to take more science courses or pursue a career directed at these disciplines after graduation. This is not to imply negative connotations around helping others, but to ensure that the behavior is grounded in ethical behavior.…

The Board determines that none of the work days missed -- Monday, April 18, 2016, and Tuesday, April 19, 2016 -- by district employees, due to a district-wide closure resulting from a natural disaster on those days, will be made up by HISD employees through either instruction of students, except as may be required by the superintendent, or performance of other duties; and 3. The Board finds that a public purpose and a benefit to HISD exist to excuse and/or forgive the absence by district employees due to school and work location closure, and that payments for such days are necessary in the conduct of the public schools as provided by Texas Education Code §45.105; and 4. The Board finds that a public purpose and a benefit to the HISD exists to provide additional compensation, to the extent necessary, to its employees, both contract and non-contract, who assisted with efforts to recover and restore regular district operations in the aftermath of the natural disaster occurring on April 18, 2016 and April 19, 2016, and that such compensation shall be made in accordance with CKC8 (REGULATION) and guidelines developed by the Chief Financial Officer;…

    honors classes to them just because they assume they will not be capable to handle them. There is not a motivation to encourage them to take highly demanding courses, and since they are new in the system, they are unable to complain for something different. In addition, even if they complain, they are excluded from the option of taking a harder class because of the English level they can handle. The argument is unfair for those who excel in mathematical and scientific ability but lack of English proficiency.…

    Department Of Education Case Study

    People that are unfamiliar with the mind of a criminal cannot fathom the factors that led to the crime. When a crime is committed, the perception of the individual tends to become negative causing the loss of empathy and understanding from his or her peers. Most people fail to think extensively about ways in which educational background contributes to a crime committed. People assume that individuals engage in criminal activity because of their specific race and background or because they lack the presence of something that is related to their crime. (I.e. one can say that a person who rapes a woman lacks sex, or someone who steals something lacks the money to pay for it and so on.)…
