"as an indicator, this position has a mixed history with me"
"when I first looked at this position it was not Curriculum and Staff Development...more to this position than what's on the budget sheet"
Monfredo cites Allen that this position manages $6 million for professional development
(and Allen comes forward)
professional development requirements with all of our grants
PD levels going forward
Monfredo asks what the range of salary would be going forward
FY11 budget reflected the current position holder, says Boone; she did not intend to replace someone at the same level
"could start as low as $85,000 and move up"
Monfredo asks if grant money could be used to hire teachers (and yes, we can, and we do...there's 21 right now)
Mulqueen comes forward to reference a three page letter that we got just as we got here
"the current system was designed to get the results that we do"
(at least I think that's what he said)
"important that we have a planning process...one of the key roles is someone to conduct that process"
he's now citing parts of the Dept of Justice report
"not just a staff development position; it's a leadership position"
"beyond providing professional development, we need to measure to what degree professional development is implemented in the classroom"
"it may be a misinterpretation of the paring back of language around it...the position has actual expanded"
Monfredo says, "in other word, it is vital. I wish we had this information before"
Monfredo supports the position
