LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT
810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
DATE: July 22, 2021 5:30:00 PM FROM: Mike Poore Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Personnel Changes
RATIONALE: To staff allocated positions within the District
FUNDING: Operating Fund
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the following personnel changes be approved. A.C.A. 6-17-1502 allows school districts that hire teachers who have taught for three years in another district in Arkansas to add one additional year of probationary status for those teachers. LRSD has done this routinely for decades because it allows the District to assess the teacher’s performance before they become non-probationary employees. It is therefore recommended that Arkansas teachers who have achieved non-probationary status and who are hired into the Little Rock School District will be provided one (1) additional year of probationary status. Teachers new to the District who have not completed three (3) successive years of employment will be probationary until the completion of three (3) successive years within the Little Rock School District. Teachers employed with LRSD after the first student contact day of the school year are declared “Interim Teacher” and must reapply at the end of the school year.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT
810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
DATE: July 22, 2021 5:30:00 PM FROM: Mike Poore Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Legal Transfer Requests
BACKGROUND: According to Section 4.4 of the Little Rock School District's Student Handbook: "The Little Rock School District shall review and accept or reject requests for transfers, both into and out of the district, on a case by case basis at the July and December regularly scheduled board meetings. The District may reject a nonresident’s application for admission if its acceptance would necessitate the addition of staff or classrooms, exceed the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or school building, or cause the District to provide educational services not currently provided in the affected school. The District shall reject applications that would cause it to be out of compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding desegregation." RATIONALE: In an effort to comply with AR Code Ann § 6-18-316. FUNDING: N/A RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Little Rock School District Administration that we accept the enclosed student transfer petitions in accordance with Board policy. (In compliance with student privacy laws, petition applications will be provided to board members during the meeting.) PREPARED BY: Dr. Frederick Fields, Sr. Director of Student Services 4.4 STUDENT TRANSFERS
The Little Rock School District shall review and accept or reject requests for transfers, both into and out of the district, on a case by case basis at the July, August and December regularly scheduled board meetings. Procedures: 1. Complete ADE Application 2. Submit by July, August and December 1 3. Review by Senior Director of Student Services 4. Submit to Board for consideration 5. Notify applicants and districts of board decision Legal References: A.C.A. § 6-18-316 A.C.A. § 6-18-317 A.C.A. § 6-18-318 A.C.A. § 6-18-510 A.C.A. § 6-15-504 A.C.A. § 9-28-113(b)(4) A.C.A. § 9-28-205 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Topic: Ignite Digital Academy Update
Short Summary: Applications for the Digital Academy are increasing daily. Parents apply by completing an electronic form that is posted on the LRSD website. Applications are processed for acceptance as quickly as possible. Parents must complete the LRSD school registration in Gateway before their application for the Ignite Digital Academy can be processed. Parents are notified in writing from the leadership team of the virtual schools of their acceptance to Ignite.
The current enrollment/applicant numbers for Ignite Digital Academy are listed below:
K- 6th grades- Elementary Enrolled- 189 In process- 35 Kindergarten- 26, 1st grade- 23, 2nd grade-26, 3rd grade- 25, 4th grade- 35, 5th grade-30, 6th grade-28
7-12 th Grades- Secondary Enrolled – 141 In process – 94 7th grade – 34, 8 th grade – 35, 9 th grade – 34, 10 th grade – 42, 11 th grade – 36, 12 th grade – 51
Background: LRSD created a Digital Academy plan and submitted to the Arkansas Department of Education for approval to meet two goals: 1) Provide a virtual option for those families who may not be comfortable returning to in-person instruction due to the continuation of the pandemic; and 2) Provide a school choice option for students that thrive in a virtual setting who would normally seek an alternative district or online provider. The Digital Academy plan was approved by ADE in early June.
The Digital Academy plan was posted, along with the FAQ and the application link in May to the district website, Parentlink phone calls were made to inform parents of this option, an article was written in our local newspaper, and Mrs. Heatherly and Mr. Poore have both completed interviews with news stations about Ignite. All posted information is updated to reflect current parameters (i.e. semester commitment and extended application deadline). Recommendation: Continued district support in recruiting additional virtual teachers to staff the Ignite Academy (K-12)
Release the details of the 21-22 Ready to Learn plan and emphasize the safety protocols that will be followed to keep students safe, specifically in the in-person setting.
Encourage parents to notify the Ignite Digital Principal (K-6) elementary Stephanie Franklin and (7-12) secondary Karen Heatherly if there is a change in their preferred learning environment after notice of acceptance to Ignite and the release of the Ready to Learn plan.
Action Steps to be taken: Hire the following additional staff members to serve the growing number of students and staff.
K-6th Grade Kindergarten- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) 1st Grade- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) 2nd Grade- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) 3rd Grade- 2 (One teacher was hired and has rescinded their acceptance. Reposted- no applicants) 4th Grade- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) 5th Grade- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) 6th Grade- 1 (Reposted- no applicants) Secretary/Registrar- 1 (In process of hiring) PE Teacher- (In the process of hiring) Music Teacher (In the process of hiring) Art Teacher (In the process of hiring)
7th – 12 th Grade Math – 1 (Posted – no qualified applicants) English – 1 (Posted – 4 applicants, will interview next week) SPED – 1 (Posted 7/15) CTE – 1 additional (Due to increase in numbers – not yet posted) Freshman Seminar (One to cover Ignite and West due to increase in numbers – West’s Spanish teacher was going to cover in-person and digital Spanish and Freshman Seminar, but with increase in numbers this may not be possible.)
Key Points: Applications for Ignite Digital Academy are increasing daily in tandem with the daily reported COVID numbers. Since July 13 th , there have been an average of 43 applications submitted each day. Current secured staffing will not meet the demand of the currently accepted student enrollment for both the elementary and the secondary programs. Additional positions have been reposted; however, there are no applicants at this time.
Many parents have expressed concerns about masking and social distancing capabilities in the traditional school setting and are applying for the Digital Academy because they do not know what safety precautions will be followed in the in-person environment. Once the 21-22 Ready to Learn Plan has been shared with our stakeholders, it is possible that some parents that applied to the Academy may change their mind and want to remain in-person at their assigned school.
Fiscal Impact ESSER funds are being used to meet staffing needs.

DATE: July 22, 2021 5:30:00 PM FROM: Mike Poore Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Resolution on COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive and COVID-19 Leave
PREPARED BY: Robert Robinson, Executive Director of Human Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Topic: Resolution on COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive and COVID-19 Sick Leave
Short Summary:
This Resolution on COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive and COVID-19 Sick Leave is recommended Board approval in order for Little Rock School District to provide up to 10 workdays or 80 hours of paid leave for its full-time employees who meet the following requirements: release time to take COVID vaccine or the employee is ordered by the District, a medical professional, or the Arkansas Department of Health to quarantine or isolate due to COVID-19 for one of the following reasons: testing positive for COVID-19, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis; or is a probable close contact or close contact; or needs to care for a dependent who is subject to a quarantine or isolation order, and the employee’s job duties are not able to be performed remotely. It is recommended that this Resolution be effective retroactively to July 1, 2021. The available COVID leave for part-time employees will be prorated according to the approved part-time contracted number of hours.
Background:
The highly transmissible COVID-19 coronavirus variant called delta is present in all 50 states and is already dominant in Arkansas; therefore, the Little Rock School District has an interest in encouraging all of its employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible to prevent transmission. In order to further these interests, employees should be incentivized and should not be forced to decide between a paycheck and securing a vaccine to safeguard their wellbeing and promote public health. The COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive and COVID-19 Sick Leave will allow up to a combined maximum leave of 10 workdays.
Recommendation: • Action Steps for Board of Education
Emergency review of the proposed COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive and COVID-19 Sick Leave Resolution approved by both Certified Personnel Policy Committee and Classified Personnel Policy Committee prior to the Superintendent’s recommendation for Board action. The Personnel Policy Committees respectively may appear before the Board and speak to this recommendation prior to the Board taking action.
Action Steps to be taken:
The Board needs to balance the cost of this Resolution in the best interest of employees within budgetary constraints and impending ESSER funding sources.
Key Points: LRSD previously approved COVID-19 Leave ended on June 30, 2021.
Key Players: All Employees
Fiscal Impact To fund COVID-19 Sick Leave benefits as proposed in the Resolution, based on 10 workdays maximum cap for each employee, it is estimated that up to 570 (this number represents 25% of certified staff unable to work remotely) certified employees and 420 (this number represents 60% of non-certified staff unable to work remotely) classified employees may need to use the proposed leave benefits at a total cost paid by the district in the amount of $964,555, plus an estimated $1,052,875 to cover COVID-19 Vaccination Incentive, resulting in the projected total cost: $2,017,430.
Estimating the cost of this kind of benefit is challenging. Any design would need to consider several factors, sometimes unknowable, such as the number of affected employees and telework possibilities for both classified and certified employees. The administration conferred with the Chief Deputy Finance and Operations Officer regarding projected fiscal impact.

2 Little Rock School District Board of Education Resolution on COVID-19 VACCINATION INCENTIVE AND COVID-19 SICK LEAVE
Whereas, the highly transmissible COVID-19 coronavirus variant called delta is present in all 50 states and is already dominant in Arkansas; therefore, the Little Rock School District has an interest in encouraging all of its employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible to prevent transmission. In order to further these interests, employees should be incentivized and should not be forced to decide between a paycheck and securing a vaccine to safeguard their wellbeing and promote public health, and
Whereas, all employees providing proof of COVID-19 full vaccination no later than October 1, 2021, will receive a one-time $300 vaccination incentive. Further, all employees will have access to paid leave for the time it takes to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine and to recover from COVID-19 related illnesses.
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that employers review leave policies to encourage employees who may be ill to remain at home;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved: 1. Qualifying Conditions for COVID-19 Sick Leave (COVID Leave): Retroactive to July 1, 2021, the Board will provide up to 10 workdays or 80 hours of paid leave to full-time employees who are unable to work or telework because the employee: a. Is subject to a federal, state, or local health department quarantine or isolation order related to the COVID-19 virus or is ordered by the LRSD Point of Contact (POC) Team or a medical professional complying with Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) guidelines to quarantine or isolate due to COVID-19; b. Has been advised by a healthcare provider to self-quarantine because the employee has or may have COVID-19; c. Is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and is seeking a diagnosis from a healthcare provider; or d. Is caring for a spouse, child, or parent who is subject to a quarantine or isolation order or has been advised to self-quarantine by a healthcare provider because the individual has or may have the COVID-19 virus. For this resolution, the term “spouse, child or parent” has the same meaning as these terms are given under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). e. Provide a full-time employee up to four hours of COVID-19 Vaccine Leave to obtain each COVID-19 vaccine injection, and up to 8 hours of COVID-19 Vaccine Leave to recover
LRSD COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Sick Leave Resolution 2021 1 Prepared by Human Resources Resolution#:20210722 07/19/2021
from any vaccination related side effects. This time is inclusive and not separate and apart from the allocated maximum of 10 workdays for full-time employees. Employee must provide written verification of receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine in order to receive payment for COVID-19 Vaccine Leave. f. Provide a part-time employee up to the prorated amount of hours of COVID-19 Vaccine Leave per injection based on the average number of hours worked preceding the injection, and up to the prorated amount of eight hours of COVID-19 Vaccine Leave to recover from any vaccination related side effects.
2. Part-time Employees: The Board will extend the equivalent of 10 workdays of COVID-19 sick leave to any regular, part-time employee who is unable to work or telework due to the reasons listed in Number 1, based on the number of hours worked, on average over 10 business days.
3. Substitute Employees: Substitute employees do not qualify for COVID-19 sick leave. However, LRSD’s care workers will qualify for COVID-19 Leave provisions.
4. Use of Leave: Until exhausted, COVID-19 sick leave may be used for subsequent qualifying conditions outlined in this resolution.
5. Payment: COVID-19 sick leave will be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay for qualifying reasons.
6. Interaction with FMLA Leave: When an employee is eligible for FMLA leave and is absent due to a qualifying condition under FMLA, the district will apply FMLA concurrently with COVID-19 sick leave.
7. Expiration: COVID-19 Sick Leave will expire on December 17, 2021, but subject to an extension upon Board approval. Employees will not be compensated for unused COVID-19 sick leave. If an employee has exhausted available COVID-19 Leave, the employee must use personal leave, vacation, sick leave, or leave without pay during the quarantine period.
8. Documentation/COVID-19 Sick Leave Approval: Employees taking COVID-19 sick leave or vaccine leave are required to complete the appropriate application for leave approval and provide documentation verifying that the absence is due to a qualifying COVID-19 reason as determined appropriate by the superintendent or designee. Little Rock School District is legally bound to comply with state and federal regulations and will follow ADH guidelines/directives for granting COVID-19 sick leave approval. The employee is responsible for providing the District proof that the employee or the employee’s dependent has received a quarantine or isolation order. The proof may be in any of the following forms, as applicable:
LRSD COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Sick Leave Resolution 2021 2 Prepared by Human Resources Resolution#:20210722 07/19/2021
. A positive test result; . Proof of receipt of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test; . A written quarantine or isolation order from the employee’s or the employee’s dependent’s treating physician, the ADH, or the District’s Point of Contact (POC); or . Written notification of close contact or potential close contact status from ADH, the District POC, or another district’s POC if the close contact is from another district.
In addition to other appropriate documentation, employees who intend to take leave under this Resolution due to the need to care for a dependent must submit a written statement indicating the relationship with the dependent, the dependent’s age, and that the employee is the only individual capable of caring for the dependent.
9. Communication: The district shall require an employee who uses COVID-19 sick leave to communicate periodically with the district regarding his or her ability to return to work or telework.
10. Good Faith: If the district becomes aware that an employee is not following best practices as defined by Arkansas Department of Health to minimize transmission and other COVID-19 precautionary measures while at work; that the employee is violating quarantine or isolation orders or recommendations; or is violating local, state, or federal health orders, the superintendent or designee may deny the use of COVID-19 sick leave and the employee will be required to use his or her applicable accumulated leave or take unpaid leave. The district reserves the right to take additional disciplinary action, including termination, for these violations.
11. Telework: Work from home arrangements are hereby encouraged. a. If some or all of an employee's job functions can be performed from home, the employee is expected to perform those job functions from home during the employees' regularly scheduled, non-overtime work hours. Employees who work from home shall not be required to use any benefit time, and their work from home shall be credited as if on a regular workday. Supervisors, subject to Superintendent’s approval, have been and should continue to, work to identify employees whose job functions can be performed at home. b. During the employees' regularly scheduled, non-overtime work hours during the emergency, the employee is considered "on-call" and, therefore, must be available by phone to respond to calls, emails, or other communication as directed by their supervisor or superintendent’s designee. c. Employees may not work or earn compensation from any other source during the employee's regularly scheduled, non-overtime work hours.
LRSD COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Sick Leave Resolution 2021 3 Prepared by Human Resources Resolution#:20210722 07/19/2021
12. Additional Procedures: The Board delegates to the superintendent the responsibility for creating appropriate administrative procedures to assist employees in using COVID-19 sick leave and to protect the district. The superintendent or designee is directed to collect data on the use of COVID-19 sick leave, as well as the cost associated with this leave, and to seek reimbursement from appropriate local, state, or federal funds if available.
13. Amendment or Termination: The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate COVID- 19 sick leave or any part of this resolution at any time. The administrative staff will provide regular information to the Board regarding the use of COVID-19 sick leave.
14. Conflicts: Nothing in this Resolution shall be interpreted or applied to create any power or duty in conflict with any federal or state law.

DATE: July 22, 2021 5:30:00 PM FROM: Mike Poore Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Comprehensive Compensation Proposal - For Informational Purposes Only
PREPARED BY: Robert Robinson, Executive Director of Human Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Topic: Comprehensive Compensation Proposal (Preliminary Draft for Implementation Study)
Short Summary:
The comprehensive compensation proposal attached is within the framework of the Compensation Resolution recently approved by the Board on April 22, 2021. The LRSD Compensation Committee created and agreed to a goal of raising the salaries of all employees for the 2021-2022 school year. This preliminary proposal is supported by the Certified PPC and Classified PPC. The Administration will provide a final review for the implementation and make a final recommendation to the Board for the regular scheduled October 2021 Board Meeting.
Background:
The Little Rock School District Board of Education values all Little Rock School District (LRSD) employees as professionals and believes they are deserving of competitive compensation; however, it has been more than 20 years since the District has had an overall review of its classification and compensation systems conducted by an independent third party compensation consulting firm, more than 10 years since non-teaching employees received a district-wide pay increase, and two years since all teachers received a pay increase of approximately 3% or not less than $1,135 for each teacher.
Recommendation: • Action Steps for Board of Education
Review the Comprehensive Compensation Proposal including information to right-size the Little Rock School District.
Action Steps to be taken:
Key Points:
• No action is required of the Board at this time. The Comprehensive Compensation Proposal is submitted as preliminary information for review in anticipation for board action during the October 2021 scheduled board meeting.
Key Players:
All Employees
Fiscal Impact The availability of immediate funds to implement the proposed Comprehensive Compensation Proposal is due in large part to ESSER Funds. The 2021-22 school year will be used to further develop right-sizing efforts and the continual implementation of the plan of action within budgetary guidelines for the 2022-23 school year and beyond. The estimated cost for the initial implementation of the Comprehensive Compensation Proposal will not exceed 10 million dollars.

Comprehensive Compensation Proposal
The LRSD Compensation Committee created and agreed to a goal of raising the salaries of all employees for the 2021-2022 school year. The initial increase is based on an increase to the certified 9.25 teacher schedule to a starting salary of $43,000 for the 2021-2022 school year with a three-year plan of gradual increases to the starting salary with an end goal of a $48,000 starting salary in the 2023- 2024 school year. There will be a 2.5% increase between lanes and a 2% step increase between all steps. All other extended contract certified schedules will receive a comparable increase based on the starting salary for the 9.25 certified teacher salary schedule. (Schedules are attached.)
We examined the Classified Employee Compensation Study and developed a three-year plan for its implementation.
We established a goal of raising the amounts of the athletic and academic stipends and establishing an index-based model going forward for those stipends. That index would be tied to the salary scale so it is imperative to establish the salary scale increases first. Therefore, those indices would not be established until the 2023-2024 school year.
Other goals not tied to salary include:
1. Transforming McClellan into a K-8 school and closing the Cloverdale Middle School building 2. Other Facility Improvements based on community input and needs assessment
In the interest of full transparency and with a goal of collaboration, we must disclose what must occur during the 2021-2022 school year in order for these goals to be met. The district will have to “right-size.” This means that under- enrolled schools will be closed as it is not fiscally responsible for those schools to continue to operate. Additionally, positions will be reduced across the district, from administration to the school level, as current staffing levels are not sustainable as we continue to lose enrollment. When deciding which schools must close and which positions are eliminated, there must be an analysis of LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT enrollment data, neighborhood populations, student assignment, and extensive community input. The entire process must be clearly communicated to parents, staff, and all community stakeholders with ample time for their input and reflection. Administrative policies must be streamlined and redundancies eliminated. New students must be actively recruited on a continuous basis with a comprehensive recruiting plan to be developed in the 2021-2022 school year. A millage or debt extension must be passed in the 2021-2022 school year with a clear, transparent plan for how the money will be used.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT MILLAGE STRUCTURE AND FINANCING OPTIONS
School districts receive local revenues based on the assessed value of property within the District. In Arkansas, property is assessed at 20 percent of its market value. The tax rate is expressed in mills, and the District’s patrons determine the number of mills levied in each District.
The total tax assessment for the District is comprised of three categories: Real Property + Personal Property + Utility = Total Assessed Valuation.
A mill equals 0.1 percent of the assessed value, which equals a tax of $1 per $1,000 dollars of assessed value. Expressed as a decimal, one mill is equal to .001.
If your real property is Your property should be One mill would cost you valued at assessed at 20% annually $20.00 $100,000 $20,000 ($20,000 X .001 = $20.00)
Under Arkansas law, school districts can levy one of the following three millage types with voter consent:
1. Maintenance and Operation (M&O) Mills a. Revenue is used to maintain and operate schools.
2. Debt Service Mills a. Revenue is used to pay debt service payments on bonded indebtedness. b. A continuing tax levy until the bonds to which the mills are pledged are retired.
3. Dedicated Maintenance and Operation Mills (capital outlays) a. Revenues from this millage can only be used for maintenance and operation purposes that voters specifically approved. b. Once approved by voters, the millage must be authorized again each year. c. Maximum of 3 mills may be levied.

6.4—VOLUNTEERS
Enlisting the support of volunteers is a way the District can expand the scope of resources and knowledge available to enrich the students’ educational experiences, while strengthening the relationship between the school and the community. Volunteers can also perform non-instructional tasks that allow licensed personnel more time to devote to instruction. The Superintendent shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining a program to coordinate the services volunteers are willing and able to contribute with the needs of District personnel. The program shall establish guidelines to ensure volunteers are aware of pertinent District policies and rules. Volunteers who violate school policies or rules, or knowingly allow students to violate school rules, may be asked to leave the school campus. The guidelines should also include provision for evaluation of the volunteer program and a method for soliciting suggestions from both the volunteers and staff for its improvement. All volunteers who intend to act as head coaches or assistant coaches must: 1. Be at least twenty-two (22) years of age; and 2. Meet the requirements adopted by the Arkansas Activities Association (AAA) to volunteer for any athletics program for grades seven (7) through – twelve (12). A member of the board of directors of the District or the spouse of a member of the board of directors of the District may not be a registered volunteer for the District unless a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors approves a resolution for the board member or board member’s spouse to be a registered volunteer. The resolution approving the board member or board member’s spouse to be a registered volunteer shall be effective for only one (1) school year. A volunteer may act as a head coach in all varsity junior and senior high sports administered by the AAA except in the following sports:
• Football; • Basketball; and • Track and field. Background Checks for Volunteers For the purposes of this policy, “clear background check” means that: o A background check was performed on the potential school volunteer in accordance with A.C.A. §§ 12-12-1601 et seq.; o The potential school volunteer has not committed any of the crimes or offenses contained in A.C.A. §§ 6-17-410, 6-17-411 or 6-17-414 according to both the National and Arkansas background checks; and o The potential school volunteer’s name was not found on the Child Abuse Central Registry.; and • The Arkansas Educator Licensure System does not indicate the potential volunteer to: o Have a currently suspended or revoked educator’s license; or o Be the recipient of a current Level 3 or Level 4 public notification of ethics violation.
A person wishing to volunteer in a capacity that requires a background check may not perform volunteer services requiring a background check until a clear background check is received by the District. Once received, a clear background check is good for one years; a background check renewal must be applied for and a clear background check received prior to the time of renewal or an interruption of permitted volunteer service could occur. A clear background check will be accepted of any individual wishing to volunteer provided it was conducted within the timeframe provided for in this policy. The Application for an initial background check may be made through the District administrative office. The District will incur the fee charged by the State of Arkansas for performing the initial check and any renewal checks. A person who failed a previous background check may petition the Board for a waiver from this policy's requirement. The petition shall be accompanied by a signed authorization for disclosure of his or her entire criminal and child abuse registry history. In deciding whether to grant a waiver, the board may take into consideration the circumstance or circumstances surrounding the act or omission that lead to the conviction or Child Abuse Registry true finding, or the receipt of the Level 3 or Level 4 Public Notification of Ethics Violation; the age of the person at the time of the act or omission, the length of time that has passed without reoffending, and other relevant circumstances. If the Superintendent recommends a waiver be granted, the Board may adopt a resolution by majority vote providing an exception to this policy's requirement for a time period not to exceed five (5) years. The board must consider this matter in open session, and may not confer or deliberate in closed or executive session. The board shall not have the authority to waive the application of this policy to any potential volunteer who is a Registered Sex Offender or whose educator license has been revoked or is currently suspended. Clear background checks for school volunteers are required prior to any volunteer service to the school district, school, teacher, or classroom, and all clear check volunteers will be issued special volunteer identification to wear prominently when performing their volunteer duties; no person may serve as a volunteer without wearing the provided identification. No information relating to the application for or receipt of a criminal background check, including that a background check has or has not been applied for, shall be subject to disclosure under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, as provided by A.C.A. §§ 12-12-1601 et seq. Requests for background checks and reports on background checks obtained under this policy shall be retained by the district for a minimum of three (3) years. The District shall maintain the following information on volunteers: a. The total number, location, and duties of all volunteers; b. The total number of annual hours of service provided by volunteers; and c. Any reimbursements made to volunteers for expenses, transportation, or other costs incurred in connection with volunteer services.
Volunteers who are mandated reporters will be made aware that the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) considers volunteers for school districts to be of their status as mandated reporters of child maltreatment and will receive training on the responsibilities of a mandated reporter.
