Ms. French stated that she had two issues. The first is the probation of teacher A14. The individual is moving in the right direction. Ms. French requested that the Board extend the probationary period for another eight (8) weeks because the administration wants to see the remediation plan carried out. If we leave probation too soon, the good habits that have been worked on, need more time to become established. A14 is aware of this recommendation. The remediation team feels it is appropriate to continue. Ms. French will be back in eight (8) weeks to give a report. This is not uncommon to continue with probation. We always want to help a person to become better. The remediation team is there to help the person get better.
