Motion by Mrs. Morgan, seconded by Mr. Kendrick, that the Board
approve of the TEA waiver request to allow high school students not
taking the state assessments to be on a modified schedule on
specified TAKS Assessment Days, as shown on page 157, Section IV
of the agenda, and copied below.
TEA will approve waiver requests allowing the district to modify the
schedule of classes on TAKS testing days during the current school
year to reduce interruptions during testing periods. This waiver will
request a modified schedule for students not taking the state
assessments on specific days. The district will receive full-day ADA
credit provided attendance is taken for all students at a uniform time of
the day. We have obtained a waiver each year it has been available,
and high school principals request that we do the same this year.
We recommend approval of the TEA waiver request to allow high
school students not taking the state assessments to be on a modified
schedule on specified TAKS Assessment Days

Motion by Mrs. Morgan, seconded by Mr. Braden, that the Board
approve the reclassification of one of the LP Card Career and
Technology Center Counseling positions (AD01 @ 215 days) to
Coordinator of Career and Technology Education (AD02 @ 215 days)
to be paid through currently budgeted federal Carl Perkins funds, as
shown on page 158, Section IV of the agenda, and copied below.
Currently the LP Card Career and Technology Center has two
counselors. One of those positions has been recently vacated. In
order to better meet the district and campus needs we are proposing a
restructuring of this position from a counselor AD01 @ 215 days to
Coordinator of Career and Technology Education AD02 @ 215 days.
Restructured and increased responsibilities would include:
• Assisting the director to develop quality program evaluation,
classroom visitation, curriculum enhancement and equipment
purchases.
