4.  Support Staff Contracts:  Support staff contracts are approved by the board in their meeting on May 8th.  As we progress in our certified staff hiring process, we will be discussing support staff assignments in your building and any changes to your staffing needs within your building.

6.  Spring NeSA Testing Schedule: Mr. Gibbons will work with building principals on the spring testing schedule. 

7.  Professional Files:  The teacher professional files must be updated annually.  Your Office manager is responsible for keeping these files updated. Building/Program administrators are responsible for assisting the Office Manager in keeping these files current.  Also, please make sure your new hire folders have all required documents. 

8.  Summer School Staffing and Program Review:  Dave Gibbons has been working on summer school programs and staffing.  Please visit with him about any program/staffing recommendations.

9.  Summer School Contracts:  We also offer contracts for the June and July summer school sessions in May.   We will need to finalize the list of recommended summer employees and get the contracts handed out before May 1st and back by May 5th so the board can approve these on May 8th.

10.  2017-18 Handbook Changes:  Begin working with your staff on handbook updates and changes for the 2017-18 school year.  These must be ready for board approval in June.  Any changes to your handbook to coincide with changes from this legislative session or new policy adoption will need to happen in July, due to the 90 day session.
