  9. Next Steps Human Resources • Employee communication/notification • Notice of employee intent • Establish dates and timelines • Establish transition procedures • Assess staffing needs

  10. Memorandum of Understanding Areas of Concern: • Parties to MOU 2. Funding 3. Oversight

  11. Parties to MOU • MOU should be between the Board and BESE • Only BESE has the authority to place schools into the RSD and said authority should not be delegated to the LDOE • Should DOE seek to terminate the MOU for cause, the Board should have an opportunity to be heard before BESE • Current draft provides for the parties to be LEA and LDOE

  12. MOU/Funding • MOU requires the school district to obligate itself to reimburse the RSD “all actual costs incurred…” • The MOU provides no parameters or limits within which the RSD would operate in this regard • MOU requires Board to obligate itself to an unknown amount

  13. MOU/Oversight • Must submit candidates for school leadership positions to RSD for approval • Allow RSD access to district’s budget to provide guidance to help the district align funds • LA. Const. Art. 8 Section 3, prohibits this kind of intrusion into the affairs of local school boards
