2.  Remote Learners:  Please make sure you finalize your remote learners and have identified the teachers who will be teaching over zoom to these learners' homes.  We will finalize additional pay for these teachers in the SEA negotiations of the 2020-21 incentive plans.

3.  Safety:  Please make sure you have "flip charts" for all classrooms.  I don't have any extra teacher charts,  but have some extra "command charts".  Please let me know by Friday, September 4th if you need any safety charts as I may need to order some additional charts.

4.  Isolated or Quarantined Staff:  So far, we have been able to house those teachers who because of exposure or health conditions, need to teach remotely.  We need to discuss those who have a positive test, but are asymptomatic, and can still teach.  I recommend all asymptomatic but positive, can elect to take the 10 emergency medical leave under the CARES Act, or choose to teach from home for the 10 days. 

5.  Transportation Update:  Questions or concerns with traffic, bus routes, etc...

6.  Gallup Strength's Finder:  Dr. Gibbons is getting codes for new staff to complete the strength's Finder Survey.  Your new staff will need to complete these online.  Dr. Gibbons will provide you with access or a copy of your present and new staff strengths.  Please make sure you work with your staff during PLC's on recognizing these strengths and using them in your programs.
