Action 38910
Becky Dorman, Senior Director of Human Resource, presented a request for a public hearing to apply for waivers from administrative rule, as follows:
The Sioux Falls School District is requesting to apply for waivers from South Dakota Administrative Rule 24:43:02:08 – Plan of Intent for teachers employed during the 2020-21 school year. Nine teachers are impacted by these waiver requests.
24:43:02:08. Plan of Intent. Any district employing teachers or administrators who are non-certified or are serving outside their current certification shall have on file with the Department of Education a plan of intent stating how the district intends to ensure that all teachers and administrators are serving on a valid certificate in their certified areas. The Plan of Intent must be fulfilled in one calendar year. The district may request a one-time, one-year extension to the duration of the Plan of Intent to be granted at the culmination of the first year of the Plan of Intent cycle.
An approved Plan of Intent waiver allows teachers an additional year beyond the “one-time extension” described above to finish coursework or Praxis test requirements for certification in the areas of Special Education, Special Education (social sciences), Journalism, and Elementary Education within Spanish Immersion.
In most circumstances, Plans of Intent and Plan of Intent Waivers are utilized in teaching areas with limited candidate pools or employing candidates who are new to the profession or new to teaching in South Dakota. The overall number of Plans of Intent have varied depending on student coursework needs and teacher availability.
• 2015-16 = 109 Plans of Intent • 2016-17 = 75 Plans of Intent • 2017-18 = 108 Plans of Intent • 2018-19 = 98 Plans of Intent • 2019-20 = 135 Plans of Intent • 2020-21 = 144 Plans of Intent
The increase in Plans of Intent over the past two years is associated with the SD Department of Education’s changes in requirements for teaching core content classes to students with disabilities. Qualifications of teachers are determined by the age (high school, middle school, elementary) and content of the course in which the students are participating. This change requires Special Education teachers to take additional Praxis exams, depending on the subjects they teach. High school Special Education teachers are most impacted by this change.
Teachers pursuing the required certification receive mentoring and support from fully certified, job-alike teachers and Instructional Coaches. The District supports teachers on Plans of Intent by funding the cost of Praxis exams and test preparation materials.
President Mickelson called for testimony, comments, and/or questions from those in attendance. No one spoke.

Action 38911
Demi Moon, Director of Middle School Curriculum and English Learners, presented an update on the results of the 2021 WIDA: ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 assessment, as follows:
The Sioux Falls School District is committed to providing the supports necessary to help each student succeed in a changing world. Immediately after enrolling, K-12 students new to the country who do not yet know English are enrolled in research-based, focused instruction to encourage language development through reading, speaking, listening, and writing.
As a member of the World-class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Consortium, the progress of SFSD English Learners is monitored with the ACCESS test for language proficiency. Test results help determine when students are ready to learn academic content without English language supports.
Of the 2614 EL students participating in the 2021 WIDA assessment, 195 students exited the EL program with a composite score of 5.0 or higher. The District will continue to support and assess English Learners to help them develop the language skills needed to be successful. The percentage of students on track to exit, based on the 2020-21 ACCESS, will be released to schools in the fall of 2021.
Following general discussion, a motion was made by Nan Baker and seconded by Carly R. Reiter, four (4) votes “yes” on roll call, acknowledging the update on the English Language Proficiency Report (see Action 38348, adopted 6/24/2019 and MRF #18703.)
Action 38912
The School Board began its budget process in November 2020 at which time the Board adopted guidelines and a timeline for the budget process. Between December and February, nineteen sub-committees comprised of administration, professional and classified staff, and community members developed program budgets that were presented to the Budget Review Committee, which included two Board members and representation from the sub-committees. In March, the Committee recommended a budget to present to the School Board. Board work sessions were held March 31, and April 7, at which the Board reviewed the budget. At its regular April 12 meeting, the Board conducted a public hearing and approved the tentative budget.
General Fund Budget Changes from Prior Year
FY21 FY22 Change
Revenue $180.7M $188.8M $ 8.1M
Expense $180.7M $191.4M $10.7M

The budget presented to the Board is heavily influenced by the COVID pandemic that hit in the final quarter of FY20. Over $60 million in Federal funds are being expended during a four-year period on facilities, instruction, extended learning, health, remote learning, sanitization/social distancing, special education, virtual learning, and miscellaneous expenses to prepare schools for opening, staying open, learning, staying safe, and filling any gaps in learning because of the unexpected FY20 closure.
The State Aid formulas are set to increase 2.4 percent in FY22. Because over 80 percent of the District’s general fund expenditure budgets are salaries and benefits and over 80 percent of its discretionary revenues are derived from the State Aid formula, over time teacher salaries can only increase at the same rate as the formula increase. However, once again the Board has committed to increasing average salaries by 0.75 percent greater than the formula increase (3.15%) for all employee groups.
Since the tentative approval of the budget, to maintain competitive salaries in targeted areas that had fallen behind the Board further raised employee salaries as follows:
• Increased starting teacher salaries from $37,735 to $41,000 (8.7 percent),
• Increased Speech Learning Pathologist salaries by 34.8 percent for first year SLPs and 18.1 precent for those at the top of the schedule.
• Increased Education Assistant hourly pay by 12.2 percent.
To accommodate these increases, the General Fund budget increased by $1,230,340 and the Special Education budget increased by $1,605,518.
Overall, the Tax-Supported budget (General, Special Education, Capital Outlay, and Bond Redemption funds) is $279.5 million. The school levy is projected to decrease by 12 cents per $1,000 of valuation in 2022. The average school property tax increase over the last 22 years for a typical house in the Sioux Falls School District is approximately 1.7 percent per year.
