For administrators that are new to the District, and have approval responsibilities for requisitions in BusinessPLUS, the Purchasing Department is offering one-on-one training. Please contact Wayne Correll at 913-279-2270 to schedule your session. A member of the Purchasing staff will come to you and provide approver training. Duration should be less than 30 minutes.
Also, the Purchasing Department will be available for walk-in sessions on Wednesday afternoons during August and September, for new users and experienced users who have questions.
Title I Updates ??? Parents Right To Know letter
from Lisa Walker
We are currently working on TWO compliance pieces related to Parents-Right-To-Know letters.
1st – The Parents-Right-To-Know letters you received in your ‘Start-Up’ packet meet the 1920 SY compliance guidelines regarding annual notification to parents related to highly qualified staff.
2nd – The recent request from Bridgette for your Parents-Right-To-Know letters (from 1819 SY) is for an upcoming report due to the state as we finish up 1819 SY compliance guidelines.?? This second provision requires the district to notify parents any time their child receives instruction for four weeks or more without a highly qualified teacher in the classroom.?? Updated templates for these individual classroom situations have been added to a Required (General) Federal Documents 19-20 folder in the Federal Programs shared drive.???? If these situations occur during 1920 SY, please use these updated templates to inform families of long-term substitutes.?? Once you send out the letter, please provide Bridgette DeSmet with a signed copy on school letterhead and we will retain copies for the 1920 SY compliance report. Thanks for your help and let us know if there are questions.
