Board approval is requested for the Coverly Pro Marketing Proposal.

The Board is asked to adopt a Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for the 2022/2023 school year. This Declaration of Need certifies that there is an insufficient number of certificated persons who meet Ventura Charter School's specified employment criteria for teaching Math Intervention. 

Due to the unavailability of Special Education teachers in the immediate area, Board approval is requested for the payment of up to $22,000 for Jennifer Butler who already possesses a Multiple Subject Teaching credential to attend Alliant International University in order to obtain an Education Specialist credential.

Board ratification of the 22-23 Charter Safe Insurance Proposal is requested. This reflects a $6,500 increase from the previous school year.

--AB 361 Resolution for the November Board Meeting.
