4. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
Rationale:
Superintendent Transition Plan To date I have been involved in 14 focus group meetings and have 4 scheduled with high school students and will still schedule with the Cozad Chamber of Commerce, Cozad Development Coalition, Dawson County officials, and our coordinators of ELL, HAL, and District Assessment. Trainings The board and I attended 2 trainings last week and there will be more upcoming. Thank you for giving up your extra time. School Improvement Plan The committee will begin their work and I am working to align all of our school documents. This includes our strategic plan, curriculum cycle, Nebraska Frameworks reports, Marzano Instructional model and all assessment data. Calendar Committee I will be starting our calendar committee for the 2022-23 and the 2023-24 school year calendars. I will have a staff representative from each building, a board member and the CEA. Meetings are scheduled for October 11, December 6, and January 10. It would be my plan to vote on them at the January board meeting. Teaching Assignments We have a couple of teachers who have taken on additional assignments which impinge on their plan time. We are looking at compensation methods. Job Descriptions I am pulling all job descriptions to make sure they are current and to create them for positions that are not identified. Curriculum I am pulling curriculum guides or materials in the absence of those guides. I will be meeting with administrators, ESU 10 and working on a professional development schedule. Facility Planning We met with Jacob Sertich to address concerns with the facility plan. We will have new designs soon and will be ready to move forward. |
