TITLE: Career Ladder Program administration records
DATES: 1984-2015.
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by district, thereunder chronological.
DESCRIPTION: Established by the Utah State Legislature, the Career Ladder Program provides funds to districts, allocated by the number of students in the district, through which teachers can receive additional compensation for various kinds of professional development activities and additional professional assignments. These records comprise the plans created by the districts (with supporting documentation), according to which districts suballocate funds for acceptable uses, and correspondence. The records created in administering the Career Ladder Program include lists of Career Ladder Review Committee (CLRC) membership; correspondence; accounting forms, both for expenditures of the CLRC and disbursement of funds to districts; consent calendars submitted to the State Board of Education for its approval; approval letters sent to districts; and abstracts of approved district plans. Also included are the records created in planning and conducting the annual Career Ladder conference for school districts, such as correspondence, conference programs and other conference materials, and accounting forms. In the case of certain districts, which received single or multiyear waivers or participated in the block grant pilot program, the only records for certain years may be correspondence, and the only documentation of plans will be records from a previous year.
