A Note From Barb

When we laugh, smile, or find joy, we are experiencing joy and happiness no matter our life’s circumstances Find joy, seek laughter, and smile often Happiness can be contagious!

Handbook Updates

The draft of the revised handbook can be found here in the Teacher Handbook Committee agenda. In the agenda is also a document of the summary of changes. Should employees, have feedback, please share that feedback with the Assistant Superintendent, Jerrud Rossing, or me.

The Support Staff handbook committee will convene on Thursday, April 27th to review the full draft of the employee handbook. I have also created a crosswalk to the current support staff handbook as well.

The Certified Staff handbook committee continues to meet. We are currently reviewing the full draft of the handbook. During the review process, the committee shares their feedback for revised sections by showing a number (fist to 5) If the committee gives feedback other than a 5, there is a discussion. We have already reviewed the first half of the handbook and will be moving to the second part at the next meetings on Monday, April 17th and Tuesday April 25th.

Teacher Roundtables

The Teacher Roundtable met on April 20th. I’d like to share that the participation at the past few meetings has been low (4-5 staff) due to conflicting meetings, events, and personal commitments During the meeting, we discussed the employee handbook updates, plans for the insurance and compensation committees in the fall, and plans for future meetings for 2023-24.
