Component 3 Title I Schoolwide Plan

Evidence:  The plan describes efforts to retain highly qualified staff to better meet the individual needs of all students.

The School Board and Administration are dedicated in their efforts to attract and retain highly qualified staff that meets the unique needs of the students of our school.  A portion of the budget ($2,000) is set aside each year to allow members of the administration to travel to job fairs throughout the state.   New and open positions are advertised through state and local newspapers as well as the Nebraska Department of Education website.  The district has a 2005-2006 base salary of $28,500 and allows all years of experience of newly hired teachers to be counted for initial placement on the salary schedule.  The district also provides insurance coverage through Blue Cross/Blue Shield and reimburses the entire amount of the deductible.
