Committee and Staff Reports (Workshop Only) Subject : 6.3 403(b)/457(b) Voluntary Retirement Savings Plan Enhancement Meeting : Aug 8, 2016 - Regular Meeting Type : Information, Report Public Content The Benefits Oversight Group has reviewed and approved the following enhancement to the 403(b) and 457(b) Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans: The addition of a simplified enrollment process – QuickEnroll During the past five years participation in the Plans has decreased from approximately 25% to the present rate of less than 15%. This is due in part to the following factors: • Demographics – more participants are retiring and fewer new hires enrolling • Fewer number of “service-basedâ€� representatives involved in enrollment activities • More employees desiring to access benefits online The Plan administrator, TSA Consulting Group, Inc.(TSACG) has recommended the addition of a simplified enrollment process and a qualified default investment account to allow employees to establish an account in either Plan within minutes. This “QuickEnrollâ€� process can be accessed by any computer, tablet or smartphone. The employee selects a percentage of compensation that is initially directed to an interest-bearing, principal-guaranteed account. At any time after enrollment, the employee may allocate their account balance and/or contributions to a number of mutual fund options or exchange their account to any of the existing investment providers authorized in the Plan without penalty. TSACG will support the QuickEnroll process with communications materials including pamphlets, posters, etc. at no cost to the District.

Consent Agenda Subject : 7.23 Kindergarten Report Card, presented by Jeff Palmer, Director of Elementary Education, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Aug 8, 2016 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : No Recommended Action : Motion to approve the updated Kindergarten Report Card. Public Content Rather than a typical report card, Okaloosa County Kindergarten teachers use an age-appropriate comprehensive reporting system. The system includes a quarterly assessment checklist that is fully aligned to the Florida State Standards. In addition to the quarterly checklists, the system includes a Teacher Guide providing explicit directions for administering each assessment element, a Parent Guide, a mid-quarter parent progress report, and an appendix. The appendix, which was developed by a group of Kindergarten teachers, includes all resources required to administer the assessment system. Prior to the end of the 2016 school year, all Kindergarten teachers were provided the opportunity to submit feedback concerning both the Kindergarten Report Card and Curriculum Guides. Initial revisions were then made to the report card based on teacher feedback. A group of Kindergarten teachers received the initial revisions via email. This group then met and collaborated with District Instructional Coaches on to provide additional feedback and approve the final revisions. The assessment system is completed online; MIS has developed a program that calculates each individual skill score once the teacher has entered the raw score. A Kindergarten representative per school is trained to serve as a resource in communicating the annual revisions. Upon approval by the School Board, the Parent Guide will be available on the OCSD website. For more information contact Jeff Palmer at 833-4208.
