General Assembly 2013 Recap

Thanks and Hello Some background on the session and your VSBA advocacy team

Hot Topics Expected 65% Rule Pay for Performance/Continuing Contracts Choice Virtual School Funding Teacher Probationary Period Labor Day Opening Law Unfunded/Underfunded Mandates Charter Schools & College Partnership Laboratory Schools Non-Public School Student Participation in VHSL Activities Carryover Funds A-F School Report Cards

Hot Issues Revisited Safety Grievance process, probationary period A-F Grading system (HB1999, SB1207)) OEI (SB1324)

Legislative Trends Focus on safety post-Newtown Flexibility – staffing, testing, but NOT Labor Day? Concern for persistently low-performing schools, but Louisiana vs. Finland – Label it, take over, then look for what works External vs. internal solutions – education community not at the table Concepts vs. details

“They’ll be back!” Issues coming around again… VHSL? Virtual Schools? Charter authorizing body? …requiring proactive, year-round approach

Other takeaways: a school board perspective Membership advantage: Top-notch lobbying – Crafting legislation – Improving legislation – Talking to patrons about consequences – Compelling testimony – Expertise – Collaborative relationships with education stakeholders
