After discussion with the board office staff, leadership, and school principals, recommendation is being made that we change payday to the 20th of each month. The sub sheets , and extra pay sheets would cover the 1st to the last day of each month, and be turned in between the 1st and the 5th of the next month for payroll. We would no longer need to make significant adjustments to our paydays in December, and sometimes in November.


As you are aware, the public release of test scores has taken place.  The schools are preparing or revising their improvement plans after analyzing the results of last year's assessments.  Our district improvement plan will also be revised based upon the needs of each of the schools. The state has changed the reporting format, so we do not have a simple one-score ranking system to allow us to easily compare with other schools in the state.  The District Improvement Planning Committee will review the results of the data and present the proposed improvement plan to the board for approval.
