Legislative Intent. It is the intent of the Legislature to establish a classroom teacher peer assistance and review system as a critical feedback mechanism that allows exemplary classroom teachers to assist veteran classroom teachers in need of development in subject matter knowledge, or teaching strategies, or both. It is further the intent of the Legislature that a school district that operates a program pursuant to Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 44500) of Chapter 3 of Part 25 of the Education Code coordinate its employment policies and procedures for that program with its activities for professional staff development, the Beginning Classroom teacher Support and Assessment Program, and the biennial evaluations of certificated employees required pursuant to Section 44664.

Legislative Intent. The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates Congress' intent to restrict award to a particular recipient or purpose.
Legislative Intent. The Florida Legislature has found that there is a need for a 16 performance incentive program for outstanding faculty in highly productive schools.
Legislative Intent. Funds are appropriated for classroom teachers 20 to purchase, on behalf of the District, classroom materials and supplies 21 for student assigned to them.

Legislative Intent. As the first school in the Treasure Valley guided by the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education, Peace Valley provides a successful, time-tested, but wholly new approach to education in this region, creating substantially increased choice in educational models while improving student learning and promoting innovative teaching methods. In response to Idaho Code 33-5201 providing legislative intent for establishing charter schools, Peace Valley Charter School will:
Legislative Intent. The Academy will improve student learning by employing proven instructional strategies, materials, and staff while using sound assessment strategies to measure student performance and applying this information for continual school and classroom enhancement. The multi-age classrooms and IB framework used in the Academy will also allow for new professional development opportunities for educators seeking an innovative, effective structure for their professional practice. Staff will be provided formal training opportunities and onsite mentoring with proven leaders in the field. The Academy will be held accountable by a local board, parents and the authorizing authority to meet measurable outcomes, including the State of Idaho’s academic standards and the other goals detailed in this petition. Tab 2 – Proposed Operations Legal Status of the School Alturas International Academy is a DBA of Forrester Academy Inc., a non-profit corporation that is registered in the State of Idaho and is organized exclusively for educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the corresponding provisions of any future federal income tax code. In this document, Forrester Academy Inc. is the petitioning entity and is referred to as Alturas International Academy or “the Academy.” Alturas International Academy will apply to become its own Local Education Agency (LEA) and will be responsible for all programs, finances, reporting and monitoring.

A reduction in enrollment and funding will occur in local districts as the Academy pulls students from area schools.

For example, the Academy intends to pull from the surrounding districts approximately 36 first graders in its first year of operation. This will cause a decrease in enrollment, but it is not likely that this decrease will allow any of the schools within the districts to hire one less teacher. Class sizes ma...
