12.  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 new hire folders have all required documents.
13.  Summer School Staffing and Program Review:  Dr. Gibbons has been working on summer school programs and staffing.  If you are interested in working a summer job, please see Dr. Gibbons.
14.  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 3rd and back by May 10th so the board can approve these on May 13th.
15.  2019-20 Handbook Changes:  Buiding administrators are working on handbook updates and changes for the 2019-20 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 June.
16.  Inclement Weather Days:  We took 5 days for inclement weather.  Student hours are OK, so we do not have to make up school time.  However, inclement weather days were all paid days for certificated staff.  Support staff were paid for two "snow days" but needed to take PTO or vacation days if they wanted to be paid for two additional days.
