Executive Director Report
July 14, 2015
Executive Director’s Desk:
1. Director of Operations: On June 15 I sent out OSP (On the Same Page) #16 that clearly described the DO hiring process. The process included posting, phone screen, first round interviews, and finalist interviews with a recommendation to the boar on July 27. During the process we received 43 applicants, I phone screened 18, and we interviewed five. The interview team consisted of nine interviewers that included Op Team, two administrators, and Ann. We convened after interviewing all five candidates and we were unanimous on the top candidates. There was a wide gap between the first and second candidate. Thus, we decided to pursue the number one candidate. I met with Mr. Kenneth Karr for breakfast the next day and at the end of the meeting offered him employment for which he accepted. We signed Ken to a two year agreement and he with work year round. Reference checks have been completed and the results of the background check should be in today or Monday.
2. Expansion: a. All due diligence has been completed for the purchase of the building. However, we are
asking for an extension from the seller until July 29 in order to wait for the determination from the IRS regarding the tax exempt status for our future bonding. The IRS has a meeting on Thursday, July 16 to begin the discussion. It is critical that we wait to hear from the IRS as it could cost us up to $1M in project monies if we go to market without a favorable ruling. Ann and Kathy will be able to provide more detail.
b. The final architectural plans were completed on July 10 and have been sent to four general contractors for construction bids. The bids will be due the end of July.
3. Staffing Update: a. The part-time and full-time math positions have been filled and the board will consider
on July 28. b. Mrs. Katie Trow, 2nd grade teacher, has resigned her position. Katie recently had a baby
girl and would like to be a stay at home mother for at least the next school year. We have posted the position and have received high quality applicants.
c. I have posted a building in-house substitute for K-5. This will help with our talent recruitment and onboarding for a teacher for 2016-2017 and will be a cost neutral position.

Financial Statements OverviewBased on the audited information for last year, the school has a combined fund balance of $1,061,963.
The year to date activity for revenue and expenditures does not include calculations for revenue amounts that were earned by the school during the year but not yet received, or for expenses incurred by the school that will be paid after the end of the month. These amounts will be calculated and recorded as part of the annual financial audit process.
The year to date state revenue related to the accelerated payments and 10% holdback is being estimated and recognized as an estimated receivable to reflect a more accurate and true picture of the school's monthly finances.
Balance SheetThe Line of Credit through Venture Bank has been renewed, but is not needed at this time.
Accounts Payable represent amounts due for invoices received but not paid as of the end of the period. Payroll Deductions and Contributions are deductions and benefits to be paid.
Summary of Revenue and Expense StatementRevenuesRevenues for the month include payments of local deposits for miscellaneous local revenues.
ExpendituresExpenditure amounts shown represent operating costs that were incurred for this current year.
Supplemental InformationAlso provided within these statements are checks that were written during the month, receipts that were posted, and journal entry transactions that were recorded. Thesereports are intended to inform the administration and board members of activity that has happened in the school’s financial records.
The projections shown on this report are prepared using both the school leadership’s estimates and consultant estimates. This report is prepared for internal use only. This report has not been compiled, reviewed, or audited and should not be relied on for other uses.
The actual Year to Date Activity figures are reported on a cash basis (with the exception of known Accounts Payables). This results in a year-to-date loss in net income in most cases. However, the numbers in the Working Budget column are indicators of where will end the fiscal year once all accruals are made.

School History Eagle Ridge Academy opened its doors in 2004 serving students in grades 6, 7 and 9. The school has
continually expanded and now serves students in grades K – 12. Eagle Ridge Academy was formed by
local parents, experienced educators, and professionals with expertise in finance, law, business,
marketing, and non-profit management for the purpose of expanding parental choice by offering a
rigorous, Classical, college-preparatory program within a public school.
Eagle Ridge Academy and the Classical Tradition The Classical tradition is manifold. The Greco-Roman period was one of intense and multifaceted
exploration, of knowledge and learning as well as the human virtues, most particularly good citizenship
and the triad of truth, beauty, and goodness. Classicism in the Christian west developed in phases.
Medieval scholasticism emphasized dialectic and logic. Renaissance humanism focused on literature and
rhetoric.
Classical Education today also includes a spectrum of traditions. Moral classicism focuses on the virtues
and tends to have a medieval flavor. Democratic classicism encourages good citizenship and embodies a
more humanist approach. Liberating classicism seeks to address the achievement gap, using Classical
resources to achieve academic excellence.
Many schools choose to work out of some particular aspect(s) of the Classical tradition. We deliberately
take the best from all traditions. This does not mean that we don’t know who we are! On the contrary, as
educators deeply immersed in and dedicated to the Classical tradition, we have crafted a detailed and
comprehensive Classical approach, designed to enrich, ennoble, and educate our students.
Overview Eagle Ridge Academy is a K-12 Classical, College-Prep Charter School. There are numerous strands and foci of Classical Education. Eagle Ridge Academy is focused on providing a rigorous, academic foundation
that works in conjunction with the school’s pillars and Latin motto. The following virtues constitute the
school’s pillars: Citizenship, Integrity, Perseverance, Honor, Excellence, and Respect. The school’s motto
“Probitas, Veritas, Pulchritudo” identifies in Latin the central tenants of the school: Goodness, Truth, and
Beauty. Using these virtues and tenants as foundations, Eagle Ridge Academy is able to fulfill its mission
of providing our students with a traditional, Classical Education that demands their best in academic achievement, behavior, and attitude and challenges them to attain their highest potential.
Eagle Ridge Academy is delineated into three schools representative of the three stages of the Trivium:
the School of Grammar (K-5), the School of Logic (6-8), and the School of Rhetoric (9-12). Grades five and
eight serve a special role as the transitional years: grade five is the transitional year between the School
of Grammar and the School of Logic, and grade eight is the transitional year between the School of Logic
and the School of Rhetoric.
Eagle Ridge Academy strives to incorporate aspects of all three stages of the Trivium in each of the three
schools, to varying degrees as appropriate in each School, in order to help students learn the grammar
level information of a particular discipline, understand the logical reasoning behind particular disciplines,
and work on the art of speaking and writing articulately with adequate reasoning and support. Upon completion of their education at Eagle Ridge Academy, students will be exemplary and knowledgeable
citizens who have been instilled with a life-long passion for learning; value self-discipline, respect,
7
perseverance, and achievement; search for truth, beauty, and goodness; and foster an appreciation for
the United States of America and her unique role in the world.
School Management Eagle Ridge Academy is managed by an eleven member Board of Directors. The Board consists of
parents, teachers, and community members, and is responsible for the strategic operation of the school
including financial management, curricular and policy development, compliance with state and federal guidelines, student enrollment, and compliance with the requirements of the authorizer.
Eagle Ridge Academy is authorized by Friends of Education, a non-profit organization that has received
state approval to authorize charter schools. As Eagle Ridge Academy’s authorizer, Friends of Education is
responsible for monitoring student academic performance, providing financial oversight, ensuring
compliance with state requirements, and supporting the school’s overall development.
Educational Philosophy Eagle Ridge Academy represents a partnership among the students, parents, faculty, administration, and staff. These partners are united in their commitment to the common objectives outlined in the Mission
Statement. Students and parents respect the Academy’s teachers as role models and instructors for their
commitment to truth and their genuine concern for children. Intelligence, creativity, responsibility, and
belief in the value of a Classical Education are characteristics of the faculty. Parents expect and appreciate
direct and regular communication from faculty regarding their children. Reciprocally, parents are
responsive to suggestions from teachers and administrators for helping students. The Executive Director, under the authority of the Board, oversees the implementation of the Mission Statement in the school
and advances the Academy’s role as an institution dedicated to providing the best education for children.
Eagle Ridge Academy recognizes each child as a person who, by virtue of his/her humanity, is in
community with all the other children in the Academy, regardless of age. By providing moral and ethical
standards, the Academy prepares its students to accept the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in
a democratic society. Every child is capable of achieving his potential to the fullest extent when afforded respect, fairness, kindness, discipline, and appropriate content-rich instruction.
Eagle Ridge Academy School of Grammar Truth, Beauty and Goodness: Virtue and wisdom are inextricably linked components of Classical Education. Citizenship, integrity,
perseverance, honor, excellence, and respect are all both moral and intellectual virtues. Like the
principles used by the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Eagle Ridge Academy was built
on certain principles and truths that are timeless and inherent.
The School of Grammar at Eagle Ridge Academy is characterized by a well-structured learning day that
sets and maintains an appropriate educational tone from beginning to end. When students come to
school they are coming to work. Their conduct at school must demonstrate a seriousness of purpose and
a sense of appropriate play that stress the importance of learning both individual and group skills.
8
Eagle Ridge Academy School of Logic Truth, Beauty, Goodness: The School of Logic builds upon the skills introduced in the School of Grammar and requires students to
use the facts and information they have learned in the School of Grammar to form logical and organized
thoughts and reasoning. This stage requires students to begin answering the “why” behind concepts.
In addition to rigorous academics and high expectations in the classroom, the School of Logic also expects students to continue to reflect upon the pillars of Eagle Ridge Academy and to demonstrate citizenship,
integrity, perseverance, honor, excellence, and respect. This will develop self-motivated and self-
disciplined students who strive to seek out truth, beauty, and goodness as they begin to grapple with the
increasing cognitive demands that the School of Logic requires.
Eagle Ridge Academy School of Rhetoric Truth, Beauty, Goodness: As the final stage in the Trivium, the School of Rhetoric builds upon what students have accomplished in
the School of Grammar and the School of Logic. Students continue to learn additional grammatical-level facts and concepts and to utilize logical reasoning; however, students build on these skills by talking and
writing intelligently and articulately about concepts and in defense of arguments and positions. Teachers
use open-ended questions to facilitate the depth of thought and insight expected of students as they
continue to grapple with challenging material and texts in order to develop analytical reasoning skills,
prepare students for college, and foster a life-long love of learning.
Students in the School of Rhetoric value academic achievement, self-discipline, and always strive to reach
their full potential. As students become aware of the interconnectedness among disciplines and observe
the truth, beauty, and goodness of our Classical curriculum and virtues, students will be exemplary and
knowledgeable citizens who are appreciative of the United States and her unique role in the world.
PART TWO – EMPLOYMENT Employment Practices At Will Employment Eagle Ridge Academy does not offer tenured or guaranteed employment. Except as Eagle Ridge Academy
has otherwise expressly agreed in writing, employment is at will and may be terminated by Eagle Ridge
Academy at any time, subject to the individual employment agreement.
Equal Employment Opportunity Eagle Ridge Academy is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all individuals
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual
orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Eagle Ridge Academy will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known
disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship. An employee with a disability for which
9
reasonable accommodation is needed should contact the Executive Director or immediate supervisor to
discuss possible accommodations.
Employees with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the work place are encouraged
to bring these issues to the attention of the Executive Director. Employees can raise legitimate concerns
and make good faith reports without fear of reprisal. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of
unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
Immigration Law Compliance Eagle Ridge Academy does not hire anyone that is not a citizen of the United States or is not authorized to
work in the U.S. under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. As a condition of employment, all new and past Employees must show valid proof that they are eligible to work in the United States.
General Policies and Procedures Standards of Conduct Eagle Ridge Academy Employees are expected to maintain standards of professional, personal, and business ethics consistent not only with the school’s Mission and Vision Statements, pillars, and teacher

Confidential Information Eagle Ridge Academy is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals (employees and students) and
the confidentiality of records. Employees have the responsibility to adhere to standards of confidentiality
with regard to students, staff, parents and volunteers and for ensuring that this commitment to protecting individual privacy is upheld. Respecting the rights to confidentiality and privacy of information
of the members of our community is critical. Eagle Ridge Academy requires that Employees not disclose
private, confidential, nonpublic, or protected nonpublic data as defined by Minnesota Government Data
Practices Act. Failure to maintain this confidentiality may result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment.
During daily work, Employees may be exposed to information that is considered strictly confidential. This
information should not be discussed with anyone, including other students, co-workers, and other
families (unless under your supervisor’s direction). Employees must be alert to others overhearing
professional discussions regarding student information or an employee’s behavior or performance.
In addition, Eagle Ridge Academy will maintain the confidentiality of “protected health information” the
federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and other information that is deemed
to be confidential by other laws. This information may include, but is not limited to, information regarding
employees. Confidential information may be information in any form: written, electronic, verbal,
overheard or observed. Access to all information is granted on a “need to know” basis, which is defined as

Employee Assignment Background Checks The Academy recognizes the importance of maintaining a safe place for our students and employees. This
requires Employees who are honest, trustworthy, qualified, reliable, nonviolent, and do not present a risk
of serious harm to their coworkers or others. For purposes of furthering these concerns and interests,
Eagle Ridge Academy reserves the right to investigate an individual’s prior employment history, personal
references, and educational background, as well as other relevant information that is reasonably available
to the Academy. In addition, Eagle Ridge Academy requires criminal background checks for all Employees and a consumer report as noted in specific job descriptions at the time a conditional employment offer is
made and every three years after their hire dates. If an employee is aware of any criminal charges that
may impact their employment, they should report the details to Human Resources within 72 hours of any
pending charge or conviction. Failure to provide the school with an authorization to conduct a
background check or consumer report under FCRA will be considered insubordination and subject an
employee to discipline up to and including termination. (Reference District Policy 404 – Background Checks)
Reporting Changes Employees must promptly notify the Human Resources of any change in name, address, telephone
number, marital status, citizenship, tax withholding allowances, emergency contact information,
insurance beneficiary, dependent insurance records, or other information deemed relevant to the
ongoing employment with Eagle Ridge Academy. Various forms may need to be completed and are
available from the Human Resources office.
Personnel Files Eagle Ridge Academy keeps personnel files on each of its Employees. These files are confidential in
nature, and are managed by Eagle Ridge Academy. They will not be copied or removed from the premises
unless there is a legitimate business or legal reason to do so.
Only authorized personnel, who have a legitimate reason, will have access to Employees’ personnel file. Any employee may view his or her personnel file by contacting the Human Resources during normal
business hours. No employee may alter or remove any document in his or her personnel file. All
personnel who view a personnel file must sign the front cover when viewing or adding to the files.
Confidential health/medical records are not included in personnel files. Eagle Ridge Academy will
safeguard health/medical records from disclosure and will divulge that information only upon written request of the employee, as allowed by law, or as required for workers’ compensation or disability claims.
Performance Reviews All staff members will be evaluated in accordance with the school’s Professional Development plan. As a
result of the scope and sequence outlined in the school’s Professional Development plan, staff will be
encouraged and supported in their professional practice such that the implementation of effective
differentiated instruction throughout the curriculum will positively impact student achievement. Additionally, through the coaching, modeling and ongoing observations/evaluations, staff will be
supported in implementing remediation strategies in their performance.

School Closing Delayed openings, school-day cancellations and early dismissal will be announced to parents and students
on WCCO (830 AM) and Channel 4 television, the Eagle Ridge Academy website, and Facebook page. In
the event of an early dismissal, staff members are to remain at school until dismissed by the Executive
Director.
Paid and Unpaid Leave Paid Time Off (PTO) – Pilot Program Personal Leave days are subject to prior approval by the Employee’s Supervisor and can be used for
personal business or illness of the Employee or Employee’s dependents. It is required that the Employee
complete an Absence Request Form and give at least three days’ notice in order to receive authorization
for leave pay.
For academic year (9 month) staff, the Academy will generally grant a request for PTO at the time desired
by the Employee using the following guidelines:
No more than ten percent (10%) of Employees per School will be granted leave on any given work day. In unusual circumstances, the Executive Director or designee may elect to exceed the limitations on the number of Employees on leave on any given day.
Employees may not use PTO on the following blackout days: first week of the school year, last week of the school year, and parent-teacher conference days.
No more than three (3) consecutive PTO days may be granted for reasons of personal business or discretionary use.
In cases of unexpected illness or emergency, the Employee’s Supervisor should be notified as soon as
16
possible and reasonable cause needs to be provided. Upon return to work, the Employee is expected to
complete the Absence Request Form in order to receive authorization for leave pay.
If an employee exhausts their annual PTO, no further pre-approved absences will be allowed. If there are
absences beyond the Employees PTO time, they will be unpaid. The unpaid day will be reflected on their
next pay period. Any employee who leaves Eagle Ridge Academy’s employment during the school year,
for any reason, immediately surrenders any unused PTO. Excessive absences may warrant discipline
against the employee.
Carryover of PTO days & Compensation for Unused PTO Days
Refer to Employment Agreement for specific information regarding carryover of PTO days and/or
Compensation for Unused PTO Days, if applicable.
Sick Leave Bank The accrued sick leave bank shall be available to Employees who have exhausted their current year PTO
and can only be used for serious health conditions or physical disability of themselves or dependent
others. Before accrued sick leave can be utilized, preapproval must be given by the Human Resources Department.
"Serious health condition" means an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that
involves: any period of incapacity or treatment connected with inpatient care (i.e., an overnight stay) in a
hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility; or
a period of incapacity requiring absence of more than three calendar days from work, school, or other regular daily activities that also involves continuing treatment (prescription medication) by (or under the supervision of) a health care provider; or
any period of incapacity due to pregnancy, or for prenatal care; or
any period of incapacity (or treatment therefore) due to a chronic serious health condition (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc.); or
a period of incapacity that is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which treatment may not be effective (e.g., Alzheimer's, stroke, terminal diseases, etc.); or,
any absences to receive multiple treatments (including any period of recovery therefrom) by, or on referral by, a health care provider for a condition that likely would result in incapacity of more than three consecutive days if left untreated (e.g., chemotherapy, physical therapy, dialysis, etc.).
The Academy may require any Employee using the accrued sick leave bank to present a statement from a
qualified physician verifying the health condition and certifying that the employee has recovered sufficiently to return to normal duties. The Academy reserves the right to make the final determination as
to whether the Employee is entitled to receive accrued sick leave for any given absence. If the employee
is approved for a leave of absence for a serious health condition, the Employee’s accrued sick leave will
be applied at the beginning of the time of leave.
Leaves of Absences When an employee plans to take leave under any leave policy, the employee must give Eagle Ridge
Academy 30 days’ notice and fill out a Leave of Absence Request form. If it is not possible to give 30 days’ notice, the employee should give as much notice as possible. While on leave, the employee may be
required to periodically report to Administration regarding the status of their intent to return to work.
17
Family and Medical Leave Employees who qualify for disability under Eagle Ridge Academy’s insurance program or are eligible for
leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) will be granted a Family or Medical Leave of
Absence. Employees approved for this type of Leave will be expected to use all their PTO and sick bank
time. All other time off will be unpaid and the employee should expect certain salary and benefit adjustments to account for the unpaid time.
In general, FMLA provides for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during a 12 month period for the following
reasons: Birth or adoption of a child or placement of a child with the employee for foster care
Care for an immediate family member such as a child, spouse, parent, or grandparent, with a serious health condition
For the employee’s own serious health condition
Care for a qualifying family member injured during active military service (special rules apply)
If qualified and approved for a Family or Medical Leave of Absence, Employees should contact Human
Resources for more information and the calculation affecting salary and benefits during that period. (Reference District Policy 410 – Family and Medical Leave Act)
Jury Duty If an employee is summoned for jury duty, notice thereof must be promptly given to the Office of Human
Resources and paid leave shall be granted for the period of jury duty required. The employee shall
reimburse the District any per diem paid to a juror by the court for jury duty service, except that the
employee shall retain any mileage and meal allowance paid by the court as well as a sum equal to parking fees paid during the term of jury duty.
Emergency/Bereavement Leave The employee may take up to the amount of paid leave stated on the Employee Assignment Document
for any emergencies or deaths in the Employee’s immediate family. “Immediate Family” is defined as a
spouse, child, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, or grandchild of the employee or the employee’s
spouse.
Workers’ Compensation Eagle Ridge Academy requires that all Employees report job-related accidents or injuries to a supervisor
immediately. A full report must be submitted to the Operations Director within 24 hours of injury using
the Incident Report available on the Z drive. Failure to report an injury, regardless of how minor, could
result in difficulty with the employee’s claim. All workers’ compensation claims will be paid directly to
Employees, and Employees are expected to return to work immediately upon release by their doctor.
Leave without Pay Any requests from academic year (9 month) staff for three or more consecutive scheduled work days off
for personal reasons will be considered a leave of absence without pay. Leave of absence without pay
may be granted taking into account the following considerations: reason for request; operating needs of
Eagle Ridge Academy; and impact on student learning. Depending on the length of the leave, leave of
absence without pay may affect an employee’s benefits and Q-Comp performance pay.
18
Holidays Employees are not expected to work on the following days: New Year’s Eve Day; New Year’s Day; Good
Friday; Memorial Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day; the day after Thanksgiving; Christmas Eve Day; and
Christmas Day. Benefit eligible non-exempt staff will be paid on these holidays.

recommendation by the Administration, the Finance, and Human Resources Work Groups. If salary increases are awarded, they become effective the first pay period of the date stated on the Employee
Agreement document.
Pay Periods Employees are paid on the 15th and the last day of the month. When the 15th or the last day of the
month falls on a holiday or weekend, every effort will be made to pay Employees on the day before the
holiday or weekend. Salaried Employees are paid to date. Hourly staff salaries will reflect a two-week
period prior to the pay date (l5th or last day of the month).
Direct Deposit Direct Deposit is a condition of hire. With direct deposit, the net pay is deposited into a financial
institution of the employee’s choice. Deposits may be split between up to two difference checking and/or
savings accounts. New Employees may receive a check, not direct deposit for up to their first two pay
checks. Direct deposit account changes may take up to two pay periods to establish; this will allow time
for the financial institution to verify the accuracy of the direct deposit information.
Payroll Deductions Paychecks generally have the following required deductions:
Federal and State taxes
Medicare
Social Security
Teacher Retirement (TRA) or Public Employee’s Retirement (PERA)
Wage Garnishments: Eagle Ridge Academy will adhere to legally imposed wage assignments and garnishments, and will not modify the terms of those legal arrangements unless ordered to by a court. The employee will be notified of the fact that a garnishment has been received and the effective start date.
If desired, some staff (if eligible) may have additional deductions. These may include:
Health Insurance
Dental Insurance
Optional Life and AD&D Insurance
Health Savings Account (HSA)

view all their payroll data via web access including pay summaries, year to date pay, tax withholdings,
19
payroll deductions and leave balances. The link to the Employee Payroll Information is available on the
ERA Staff Log In page on the website.
Timecards Nonexempt Employees are required to be at work on time and sign in on the Employee Attendance Roster. Employees should record the time worked in quarter hour intervals. Altering or falsifying the
employee attendance roster or recording time on another employee’s record is prohibited and subject to
disciplinary action. At the end of each pay period, Employees are to submit for approval an accurate
timecard. It is the responsibility of the employee to take all breaks according to their preset schedule.
Eagle Ridge Academy will make an effort to pay the employee in a timely manner if the timecard is
submitted late.
Overtime Nonexempt support staff may be requested or scheduled to work overtime when operating requirements
cannot be met during regular working hours. The Administration must authorize all overtime work for
Employees in advance. Working overtime without prior authorization may result in disciplinary action.
Nonexempt Employees will be paid time and one-half for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in one
work week and as otherwise required by state and federal law. The work week is defined as 12:00 a.m. Sunday through 11:50 p.m. Saturday night. The overtime rate is only paid on the actual hours worked
beyond 40. Hours worked do not include holiday, personal time or sick time for which the employee is
paid, but did not work.
Exempt Employees are expected to work as much of each workday as is necessary to complete their job
responsibilities. No overtime or additional compensation is provided to Exempt Employees.
Benefits Eagle Ridge Academy’s Board of Directors determines both benefit eligibility for its Employees and the
contribution rate towards the premium for each available benefit plan. The Employee’s monthly premium
cost for each benefit plan they are eligible for is outlined in the Employee Benefit Summary document,
which is available in Human Resources. Eligible Employees who waive health insurance coverage receive a
certain amount in lieu of benefits.
During the annual Fall Open Enrollment period, Eagle Ridge Academy will communicate the available
benefits and premiums for the following year to the Employees. The Open Enrollment period allows
Employees to add or change their benefits coverages. Benefit plans elected during open enrollment are
effective January 1st and continue uninterrupted through the summer. No other changes are allowed to
benefits elected during Open Enrollment unless the Employee has a “qualifying event” such as certain life
status changes, i.e., marriage, birth or adoption of a child, or involuntary loss of medical coverage.
Coverage for Employees not renewing their contracts and who provide notice of their departure will
continue to receive insurance benefits through the end of August of that year. Employees who terminate
employment mid-contract and during the school year will no longer be eligible to receive benefits. New
Employees eligible to participate in benefits plans will receive benefits, if elected, on the first day of the
month after 30 days has passed, i.e., if a contract starts August 20th, coverage starts October 1st.
20
Problem Resolution Eagle Ridge Academy seeks to deal openly and directly with its Employees, and believes that
communication between Employees and the administration is critical to solving problems. Eagle Ridge
Academy Employees that may have a problem with one another should attempt to resolve the problem
themselves. If a resolution cannot be agreed upon, both Employees should approach the first-line
supervisor, who will work with the Employees to determine a resolution. If a resolution cannot be agreed
upon, the Employee should present his or her problem to the Executive Director. If a resolution cannot be agreed upon, the Employee shall bring his or her concerns to the School Board Chair.
(Reference District Policy 403 – Discipline, Suspension and Dismissal of School Employee)
Discipline Eagle Ridge Academy’s policy is to attempt to deal constructively with Employee performance problems
and Employee errors. The disciplinary process will be determined by Eagle Ridge Academy in light of the
facts and circumstances of each case and within the parameters approved via policies adopted by the school’s Board of Directors. Depending upon the facts and circumstances, the discipline applied may
include, among other things, oral or written warnings, probation, suspension without pay, or immediate
discharge. Each situation will be considered in light of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the
seriousness of the situation, the Employee’s past conduct and length of service, and the nature of the
Employee’s previous performance or incidents involving the Employee. Details of this process are
outlined further in the Corrective Action section.
Corrective Action Corrective Action will be taken against an Employee in response to a rule infraction or a violation of Eagle
Ridge Academy policies. Corrective Action will continue until the violation or infraction is corrected or the
Employee is terminated.
Corrective Action usually begins with a verbal warning, followed by a written warning that is placed in the
Employee’s personnel folder. Directives will be given to the Employee to correct the conduct or
performance and copies of all writings will be filed in the Employee’s personnel file. If more serious
corrective action is required, the Employee may be put on probation, receive suspension with pay, or
have his or her employment terminated.
Eagle Ridge Academy considers some violations as grounds for immediate dismissal, including, but not
limited to: verbal or physical abuse of students, insubordinate behavior, theft, destruction of Eagle Ridge
Academy property, dishonesty, drug or alcohol abuse, or threats of violence.
Employees charged with some infraction and subject to corrective action may appeal that corrective
action. An appeal must be submitted in writing to the Executive Director. For employees whose direct
supervisor is the Executive Director, the written appeal would be submitted to the Board of Directors.
Separation Job Abandonment Employees of Eagle Ridge Academy that are absent for more than one (1) day without notifying a direct
supervisor are considered to have voluntarily abandoned their employment with Eagle Ridge Academy.
The effective date of termination will be the last day that the Employee reported for work.
21
Termination Termination may result from any of the following: (1) layoffs, which include the elimination of an
Employee’s job function or headcount reduction due to cost reduction or funding shortfall and (2)
involuntary dismissal, which may include poor performance reviews or failure to adhere to the teaching/learning philosophy of Eagle Ridge Academy or the demonstration of an unacceptable attitude
in the workplace.
Notice of Resignation Although Eagle Ridge Academy expects an individual to honor the dates of the Employee Agreement, it
understands that many circumstances arise which may necessitate resigning from employment. If an
Employee decides to resign, notification should be provided to their first line supervisor and Human Resources in writing. The notice of resignation should be dated with the date the resignation letter was
completed. It should list the last day of work, the reason for resignation, and should be signed by the
Employee.
Termination Process Eagle Ridge Academy requires that Employees return all documents, files, computer equipment, tools,
keys, and other Eagle Ridge Academy owned property on or before the last day of work.
Exit Interviews Eagle Ridge Academy encourages Employees to complete an exit interview when employment is ended.
This interview provides Employees with an opportunity to offer suggestions as to how the Academy can
improve Employee working conditions, policies and procedures, and other areas that impact
employment. The first line supervisor or Executive Director will offer an exit interview as part of the
separation process.
COBRA The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives Employees and their qualified
beneficiaries the opportunity to continue health coverage under Eagle Ridge Academy health plan should
the Employee lose his or her eligibility (e.g. upon termination). Under COBRA, the Employee pays the full
cost of the coverage at Eagle Ridge Academy’s group rate. Details of COBRA coverage and how to apply
for it will be provided by Eagle Ridge Academy at the time eligibility is lost.
Employment Regulations Unlawful Harassment Eagle Ridge Academy is committed to providing a work and learning environment in which all individuals
are treated with respect and dignity. Each Employee has the right to work in an environment that is free
of any type of discrimination, including sexual harassment. No person should be required to endure harassment of any nature by supervisors, faculty members, educational support staff, independent
contractors, or vendors. Furthermore, this unlawful harassment applies to all phases of employment, and
academic status, including but not limited to recruitment, testing, hiring, upgrading, promotions or
demotions, transfers, layoffs, terminations, suspensions, expulsions, rates of pay, benefits, and selection
for training.
It is Eagle Ridge Academy’s responsibility to prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace and in
22
connection with all extracurricular, athletic, and other programs sponsored by the school whether
occurring at the school or at another location. Sexual harassment is a violation of the law and will not be
tolerated. Employees who engage in sexual harassment will be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge.
Any Employee, supervisor or administrator who is aware of or should be aware of harassing conduct of
any nature by another Employee, whether or not anyone complains about such harassment, but fails to
report that conduct may be subject to discipline. Any Employee who believes that he or she has been
subjected to or has knowledge of a harassing or offensive work or learning environment or other harassment shall report the incident orally or in writing to building principal, the principal’s designee, the
building supervisor, or the Operations Director. The Operations Director will investigate the charge. If the
person against whom the claim is made is the Operations Director, then the complaint shall be filed with
the Executive Director. If the complaint involves the Executive Director, the report may be filed directly
with the Board of Directors.
Retaliation against any person for having made a good faith complaint or report of harassment, or
participating or aiding in an investigation of harassment, is strictly prohibited. Any person who believes
that he or she has been subjected to retaliation should bring the retaliatory conduct to the attention of
the Executive Director. If the Executive Director is the source of the alleged harassment, the charge shall
be reported directly to the Board Chair. Retaliation will be considered a serious act of misconduct subject
to appropriate discipline up to and including discharge.
Any Employee whose allegations are found to be both false and brought with malicious intent will be
subject to disciplinary action.
(Reference District Policy 413 – Harassment and Violence)
Safe and Drug Free Environment Weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are banned from school premises. Faculty members who
are made aware of or suspect students possessing, using or intending to use a weapon, illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco or are under the influence or illegal drugs are to immediately escort the student to
the school office and inform the Executive Director of the existing circumstances. Faculty members are
also prohibited from possessing or using a weapon, using illegal drugs, consuming alcohol, or using
tobacco while on school premises or reporting to work or school activity under the influence. Violations
will result in suspension of duties and could be used as grounds for termination.
(Reference District Policy 417 – Chemical Use and Abuse)

Student Planner Use All Eagle Ridge Academy students are issued student planners. Upper school students are to use the planners as a hallway pass to request permission to leave the room; teachers are to sign the planner when a student leaves the classroom.
Supervision of Students The supervision of students is the responsibility of all faculty members. The faculty is expected to take an active part in supervising all Academy students, not just the students under a particular teacher’s charge.
All students are to be supervised whenever they are on campus during the academic day, whenever they
are on campus participating in extracurricular activities, and whenever they are off campus on Academy
sponsored trips. Faculty members are responsible for knowing and upholding policies pertaining to the

As teachers leave the building for the day, they are to close and lock their classroom door. Teachers who are running after school clubs are responsible for all students until they are picked up
by the parents.

forms must be approved by your school principal at least three weeks in advance.
Discipline and Detention Eagle Ridge Academy believes that discipline starts at home and is supported by the Pillars and classroom
management. Teachers are encouraged to offer students the opportunity to correct behaviors to align
26
with the Pillars of Eagle Ridge Academy. If there are continued disruptions or misbehaviors, parents
should be contacted for support in correcting the student behavior. If the misbehavior continues after
parent contact from the teacher, a detention may be assigned. Detention is viewed as a time for students to reflect on behavioral choices and to make better decisions in the future.

such are intended for teaching or other job-related purposes. Personal use should be kept to a minimum.
Voice mail should be set up on the first day of school and checked at least once every school day. Email is

When you return the cart, please make sure all laptops are plugged in, and that the cart is plugged in. This will ensure that the laptops are all charged for the next class. Do not hand a laptop to a student for individual use. A teacher may have reserved the laptop cart, and if a few
28
students have some of the laptops, that teacher may not have the full set of functional laptops needed to complete the planned lesson. The laptop carts are kept in the server room and will need to be unlocked by a member of the operations staff.
iPads The iPad cart is available for check out via the Outlook Calendar. When you return the cart, please make sure all iPads are plugged in, and that the cart is plugged in. This will ensure that the iPads are all charged

PART FIVE – TECHNOLOGY Technology Acceptable Use Policy Purpose of Use Through technology, Eagle Ridge Academy provides access for students and staff to resources from around the world. Expanding technologies take students and staff beyond the confines of the classroom
and provides tremendous opportunities for enhancing, extending and rethinking the learning process.
This new capability, however, requires guidance for students and staff use.
The Opportunities and Risks of Technology Use Eagle Ridge Academy believes that the value of information and the opportunity for interaction that
technology offers outweighs the hazards of its misuse. Making network access available, however, carries with it the potential that some network users will encounter sources that could be considered
controversial or inappropriate. Because information on networks is ever-changing and diverse, Eagle
Ridge Academy cannot completely predict or control what users may or may not locate when on-line.
Technology provides a conduit to information: the users must be wary of the sources and content and be
responsible in choosing information to be accessed.
No technology is guaranteed to be error free or totally dependable, nor is it safe when used irresponsibly.
Among other matters, Eagle Ridge Academy is not liable or responsible for:
29
1. any information that may be lost, damaged, or unavailable due to technical or other difficulties;
2. the accuracy or suitability of any information that is retrieved through technology;
3. breaches of confidentiality;
4. defamatory material; or
5. the consequences that may come from failure to follow Eagle Ridge Academy policy and procedures
governing the use of technology.
Privileges of User Users may access technology only for educational purposes. Exercising this privilege requires that users
accept the responsibility for all material viewed, downloaded, and/or produced. Users will need to
evaluate the validity of materials accessed through technology and cite their resources when appropriate.
The actions of users accessing networks through Eagle Ridge Academy reflect on the school. Users must
conduct themselves accordingly by exercising good judgment and complying with this policy any
accompanying administrative regulations and guidelines.
Definition of Acceptable Use Users will:
adhere to the rules of copyright and assume that any software that they did not create is
copyrighted (unless it is labeled ‘freeware’ or ‘public domain’);
adhere to the licensing agreements governing the use of shareware: note that e-mail is not
guaranteed to be private;
be responsible at all times for the proper use of their access privileges and for complying with all
required system security identification codes, including not sharing such codes;
maintain the integrity of technological resources from potentially damaging messages, physical
abuse, or computer viruses;
respect the right of others to use equipment and, therefore, use it only for school-related
activities;
treat all computers, printers, cameras, and other electronic hardware and software with great
care; and
abide by the policies and procedures of networks and systems linked by technology; and protect
the privacy of other users and the integrity of the system by avoiding misuse of others’ files,
equipment and programs.
Users will not:
use offensive, obscene, inflammatory or defamatory language;
harass other users;
misrepresent themselves or others;
violate the rights of others, including their privacy;
access, download and/or create obscene or inappropriate material;
use the network for personal business or financial gain;
vandalize data, programs and/or networks;
degrade or disrupt systems and/or equipment;
damage technology hardware and/or software;
30
spread computer viruses;
gain unauthorized access to resources or entities;
violate copyright laws;
damage computers, printers, cameras, or other hardware;
use technology for illegal activities; and,
reveal their name, personal address or phone number, or those of other users without parental
permission.
(Reference District Policy 524 – Internet Acceptable Use and Safety Policy)
Right to Monitor Eagle Ridge Academy, as the provider of the technology, email, and Internet access, has the right to
monitor any and all use of its system. Any individual right of privacy is superseded by the school’s need to
maintain its system.
Penalties for Improper Use If users of the technology do not follow the rules of Acceptable Use, their privileges may be taken away or
be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Social Media Eagle Ridge Academy recognizes the value of teacher inquiry, investigation, and innovation using new
technology tools to enhance the learning experience. The Academy also recognizes its obligation to teach and ensure responsible and safe use of these technologies.
This section addresses Employees' use of publicly available social media networks including: personal
websites, web logs (bios), wikis, social networks, online forums, virtual worlds and any other social media.
The Academy takes no position on Employees' decision to participate in the use of social media networks
for personal use on personal time. Employees must avoid posting any information or engaging in communications that violate state or federal laws or school policies.
Eagle Ridge Academy recognizes the importance of online social media networks as a communication
tool. The Academy provides password-protected social media tools. However, public social media
networks, outside of those sponsored by the Academy, may not be used for classroom instruction or
school-sponsored activities without the prior authorization of the school administration and parental consent for student participation on social networks. The Academy may use these tools and other
communication technologies in fulfilling its responsibility for effectively communicating with the general
public.
The line between professional and personal relationships is blurred within a social media context. When
Employees choose to join or engage with students, families or fellow Employees in a social media context that exists outside those approved by the school, they are advised to maintain their professionalism as
Eagle Ridge Academy Employees and have responsibility for addressing inappropriate behavior or activity
on these networks, including requirements for mandated reporting.
31
All Other Policies and Regulations Additional policies may be approved or amended by the Board of Directors and are applicable to all
Employees of the Academy.

However, it shall not be considered a conflict of interest (a) for any director of the Board to vote for him- or herself to become a member of any Working Group, Committee, or Task Force or (b) for any member of the Board of Directors or of any Board Working Group, Committee, or Task Force to vote for him- or herself to become an officer of such group.
VI. Exceptions – Minn. Stat. §§ 124D.10, subd. 4a(e); 317A.255, subd. 2(1)
A. Teachers of Eagle Ridge Academy who are serving as Board members are not deemed to have a conflict of interest because they are paid compensation as a teacher. Thus, teachers of Eagle Ridge Academy may serve as members of the Board of Directors.
B. Teachers of Eagle Ridge Academy who are serving as Board members are not
deemed to have a conflict of interest when addressing any contract or transaction regarding compensation for any Eagle Ridge Academy employees, including themselves. (State law exempts the situation of directors establishing compensation for themselves or other directors, and allows teachers to comprise a majority of the school board. Therefore teachers, as board members, are permitted to vote on budgets and other financial matters that affect them. However, teachers of Eagle Ridge Academy shall not vote on their own, individual salaries.)
VII. Consequences:
Should a conflict of interest occur the Board may choose to apply consequences as deemed appropriate, in addition to those provided by law.
VIII. Copy of Policy:
All members of the Board of Directors of Eagle Ridge Academy shall be provided with a copy of this policy and be required to complete and sign an acknowledgment and disclosure form pertaining to any potential or actual conflicts of interest, at least on an annual basis, as well as at any time a potential or actual conflict of interest may arise.
