2017 COMPARED TO 2016 Clause Samples

2017 COMPARED TO 2016. Net income from continuing operations was $72.1 million compared to $62.4 million in 2016. The increase was primarily due to the $3.4 million benefit associated with the TCJA in 2017, and the $3.3 million pre-tax regulatory environmental disallowance in 2016. Excluding these items, adjusted net income from continuing operations increased $4.3 million. See the Non-GAAP reconciliations at the beginning of Item 7 for additional information. The increase of $4.3 million was primarily due to the following factors: • a $16.0 million increase in utility margin primarily due to customer growth and effects of colder than average weather in 2017 compared to warmer than average weather in 2016; and • a $3.1 million increase in other income (expense), net primarily due an increase of the equity portion of AFUDC; partially offset by • a $14.7 million increase in operations and maintenance expense driven by higher utility payroll and benefits increases, as well as increased safety equipment upgrade costs; and • a $1.0 million decrease in revenues from our asset management agreements for our Mist storage and transportation capacity. 2016 COMPARED TO 2015. Overall, net income from continuing operations increased $2.4 million. The increase was primarily due to the $9.1 million after-tax charge from 2015 and a $2.0 million after-tax charge in 2016 related to the regulatory disallowances associated with a February 2015 OPUC Order and subsequent Order in our SRRM docket. Excluding the impact of the non-cash charges from the SRRM docket in 2015 and 2016, adjusted net income from continuing operations decreased $4.7 million primarily due to the following factors: • a $6.5 million increase in operations and maintenance expense primarily due to cost savings initiatives that were implemented in the second half of 2015 that did not recur in 2016; and • a $5.5 million decrease in other income (expense), net primarily related to the recognition of $5.3 million of equity earnings on deferred regulatory asset balances as a result of the 2015 OPUC Order; partially offset by • a $5.2 million increase in utility margin primarily due to customer growth and gains from gas cost incentive sharing; and • a $2.0 million increase in other revenues largely due to higher revenues from our asset management agreements at our non-utility gas storage facility.

  • TEACHER EVALUATION A. The administration will be evaluating the teacher’s performance within the time of formal responsibility. The evaluation process and form will be shared with the Association Building Representatives at the beginning of each school year. (a) Probationary teachers shall be evaluated at least two (2) times a year. The first evaluation will be completed prior to December 1st and the second prior to April 15th. Each evaluation will be based upon announced, unannounced, informal observations, on the performance of other duties and responsibilities and the goals developed in the Individualized Development Plan (IDP). The announced and unannounced observations should be a minimum of thirty (30) minutes in length. The observations may occur at anytime prior to the development of the written evaluation, but at least one of them must be planned in consultation with the probationary teacher. The results of formal observations will be discussed with the teacher in a timely manner. The information gathered during the observations will be used to write the evaluations. (b) Tenured teachers will be evaluated on a rotating schedule, but no less than once every three- (3) years. The administration reserves the right to evaluate a tenured teacher more often. The evaluation will be based upon announced, unannounced, informal observations and on the performance of other duties and responsibilities. The announced and unannounced observations should be a minimum of thirty (30) minutes in length. The observations may occur at any time prior to the development of the written evaluation, but at least one of them must be planned in consultation with the tenured teacher. The results of formal observations will be discussed with the teacher in a timely manner. The information gathered during the observations will be used to write the evaluations. 2. The administrator shall prepare and submit a written evaluation and recommendations to the teacher prior to May 30th of the year they are evaluated. The administrator shall hold a conference with the teacher to discuss the written evaluation and recommendations. 3. Upon receipt of the evaluation the teacher will sign the form indicating his/her receipt of the report. The signature on the form does not constitute his/her approval unless specifically noted. 4. Teachers involved with the instruction of Advanced Placement courses will be evaluated. This evaluation in the first year will be made part of the formal evaluation only at the request of the teacher. B. A teacher who disagrees with the content or procedure of evaluation may submit a written answer which shall be attached to the file copy of the evaluation in question and/or submit any complaints through Level 4 of the grievance procedure. C. If an administrator believes a teacher is doing unacceptable work, the reasons shall be set forth in specific terms. Included will be examples of specific ways in which the teacher is to improve and assistance may be given by the administrator and other staff members. In subsequent conferences it shall be the responsibility of the individual teacher to inquire whether adequate improvement has taken place. D. Monitoring and observation of the work performance of the teacher shall be conducted openly. The public address or audio system or similar types of communications will not be used for the purpose of evaluation. E. The Board and the Association recognize that the ability of pupils to progress and mature academically is a combined result of the school, home, economic and social environment and that teachers alone cannot be held accountable for all aspects of the academic achievement of the pupil in the classroom. Test results of academic progress of students shall not be used as the sole determinant or in isolated instances to evaluate the quality of a teacher's service or fitness for retention. F. All communications, including evaluations by Milan Administrators, commendations, and documented complaints directed toward the teacher which are to be included in the personnel file shall be made available for review of the teacher prior to placement in the file; a copy of any such communication will be provided to the teacher at this time. Pre-placement information such as confidential credentials, letters of reference from universities, individuals, or previous employers are exempt from such review. A written statement for inclusion in the personnel file may then be made by the teacher in regard to materials that were not signed by the teacher. A representative of the Association may accompany the teacher. G. Ordinarily, observations of teachers shall not be for less than a full class period or for the duration of a particular teaching lesson.
