Rationale:
Executive Summary
Although the Staff Handbook is approved by the board of education, the development and contents of the handbook are administrative duties. The handbook utilizes a template provided by the Board's Legal Council, conforms to SEM board policy and State and Federal laws. It is the responsibility and duty of the administration to customize the handbook to fit the specific needs of the district, and serve as a guide to day-to-day events happening within the school, and all school related activities.

8. Discussion Items
|
|
|
8.1. Discussion of External Visitation (Standard I: Mission, Vision, and Goals)
Rationale:
Executive Summary: (Policy: 2001
Review: Once every five years NDE requires all public schools to take part in an external visitation. The visitation is conducted by other Nebraska Administrators and educators with the purpose of investigating and evaluating the progress the district has made on its five-year plan/goal. I large part of the evaluation should take place prior to the visitation. The lead from SEM's CIP team will submit considerable information about the district's progress including; achievement data, district demographics, plans and strategies used, and the plans for the district utilizing such strategies as MTSS, Educlimber, staff development, and data collection. A written report will be presented to NDE and to SEM within four-weeks of the completion of the visitation. I expect to have the report prior to the May Board of Education Meeting.

8.2. Board Policy No. 1003 Mission Statement
Rationale:
Executive Summary --- --- Standard II - Board Governance
As of April 1, 2022, SEM school will be in year one of our continuous improvement process. This cycle is a five-year process which will conclude in the spring of 2027, when SEM will have its next external visitation. Although we are waiting to receive the final report from the external visitation team, it is a critical first step to have a District Mission Statement in place as a goal is determined, and a plan is set to help ensure SEM is successfully ensuring that students are receiving a high quality education provided by a highly effective teaching staff. The SEM staff has already begun their contribution to this process by meeting on their professional learning committees and began developing recommendations for the mission statement.
