Spanish Achievement Test Materials $ 4,650 <br />The Dual Language Program teaches children in two languages but, currently, assesses <br />students only in English in any standardized way. We would like to measure the effectiveness <br />of the academic skills and content of the Dual Language Program students in Spanish. We are <br />not aware of such tests being available in Chinese. <br />5u' Grade French /Spanish Assessments $ 7,500 <br />This year there was a new world languages curriculum that made our district exam for <br />511' grade obsolete, These tests would allow us to measure and track the effectiveness of <br />teaching world languages in elementary school. <br />District Client Assessment $ 27,750 <br />The district has not done a climate survey since 2002, but it is in the strategic plan <br />outcomes report, This budget request includes staff, parent and student surveys with up to ten <br />optional questions for each site <br />Staff Development for Technical Staff Upgrades $ 20,000 <br />The MIS Department's training budget is currently $7,000; insufficient to support 13 <br />MIS positions. Ongoing information technology training is required for both new and existing <br />personnel to meet the changing technology skills required for their jobs. <br />Internet Access for School Board Members $ 4,500 <br />In order for the district to more efficiently distribute information, particularly school <br />board meeting materials, to school board members each member will need to have Internet <br />access in their homes. This required access should not be a financial obligation incurred by a <br />board member. Tile district will use existing recurring capital funds to provide laptop <br />computers as needed. <br />Additional Staff or Resources to Support Increasing Number of Employees <br />Human Resource Management System (HRMS) Clerk Position $ 41,415 <br />This is a repeat request to fund a clerk level position in the Human Resources Office to <br />manage the data input into the HRMS. Accurate and timely data input into this system will <br />allow the district to more efficiently prepare the required external reports on our workforce. <br />The HRMS also interfaces with the Payroll System to update employee data and eliminate the <br />duplication of data entry by both Human Resources and Payroll. The HRMS is also crucial to <br />staff recruitment and position control. <br />Payroll Supervisor Position $ 47,600 <br />The district's payroll office is staffed with the same number of payroll technicians as it <br />had seven years ago. The payroll volume experienced by producing a biweekly and monthly <br />payroll has outgrown the processing capacity of two positions. The Finance Director and <br />Assistant Finance Director spend considerable hours each week assisting with the payroll <br />function. A payroll supervisor position would provide day -to -day management over the <br />payroll function and add another person to relieve the time pressure of meeting payroll <br />10 <br />
