  G. Approval of hire of a previously out of field employee Vote Julie Hemphill 2 m
   

DCPS always recommends that an individual that was previously found to be out of field and has not satisfied the requirement is not eligible for hire. This is only a recommendation by our office and can be overruled by your board. Keep in mind that if the educator has not completed the out of field requirement and is subsequently placed in an out of field position, even for one day, Global Outreach Charter Academy may be subject to fines in an FEFP audit. This employee will work for Intercoastal and Mr. Stickel has verified that she will not be placed out of field.

IT department identified the non-capitalized items that reached their useful life and need to be retired. All laptops that either broken or not useful any longer. They might use some of them for parts and recycle the other ones. Projectors that were used in classrooms are at the end of their useful life as well and are no longer used because smart boards were installed.

 
  K. Transfer of Chromebooks to Arts from Intercoastal Vote Dmitriy Goncharov 2 m
   

The Arts school needs more Chromebook than what were included in CSP budget due to budget limitations. On the other hand, Intercoastal campus has Chromebooks that were purchased with funds loaned to Intercoastal by General Funds of K-8 and GOCA Properties LLC. As a result, these Chromebook can be used by any school. Since Arts budget is very limited it's recommended to transfer 60 Chromebooks to Arts school from Intercoastal.
