Title: PI-1 Out-Of-Field Teachers Survey 2 First Semester

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board approve the attached list of teachers as out-of-field for Survey 2 of the FY06 school year to serve one or more classes out of their fields of certification in order to comply with State of Florida Board of Education Administrative Rule 6A-1.0503.

Description: Florida Statute 1012.42 gives each district school board the authority to assign teachers to out-of-field positions.  Such assignments typically are made to provide students a comprehensive program of instruction.  Priority consideration is given to teachers who have demonstrated subject-matter competency through prior teaching experience.  The district provides support for out-of-field teachers through in-service opportunities to develop instructional competencies required for the assigned duties.  Partnerships have been established with colleges and universities for required coursework and exam preparation.  Teachers teaching in a subject area(s) not covered by their current certification are required to sign out-of-field agreements which condition continued employment on obtaining appropriate additional certification within a specified time frame.
