Dr. Bartlett presented the first reading of a proposed
revision to the policy about admitting nonresident
students without payment of tuition. House Bill 2479

residents of the United States, but non-residents of
Arizona, for enrollment in a year round residential
boarding academy located in this state specializing in

music, or acting.
Consideration of Proposed Revisions to Policy
JLIA Supervision of Students (first reading)
Dr. Bartlett presented the first reading of proposed
policy language changes intended to provide greater
clarity concerning the supervision of students, based
upon the input of the Arizona School Risk Retention
Trust Inc. Specific revisions include additional
language regarding the districts responsibility to
provide reasonable supervision, replacing language
about line of vision with reasonable proximity of
students, and conditions when a teacher is not in the
physical presence of a student.
Consideration of Revisions to 2015-2016
Performance Award Plan
Dr. Bartlett presented the revisions to the 2015-2016
Performance Award Plan. The district is required to
have a plan for a teacher performance-based
compensation system. In June 2015 the board
approved minor changes to the policy for school year
2015-2016. Dr. Bartlett reported that after further
review the administration concluded that a more
comprehensive database was the appropriate, fairer
measure of a schools performance. Therefore, the
administration proposed the use of the most current
Arizona A-F accountability system as the basis for
determining 2015-2016s performance award. The
board approved the revisions as presented.
