Meeting Regarding Moving Away from PEERA
From Tammy Dodderidge
Superintendent Dr. Cynthia Lane met with employees on Thursday and will be meeting with them again today (Friday) to hear any questions or concerns about the district’s change in negotiating with bargaining units (see the letter emailed to all staff on March 2). The meeting will take place at 4 p.m. in the Board Room of the Central Office. As of July 1, 2017 the district will no longer participate in the Public Employer-Employee Relations Act (PEERA) which governs negotiations with non-teacher groups. Please encourage employees who have questions or concerns to attend the meeting.

ESL Openings-Procedures
From Kristen Scott
Principals,
We will continue with the process that Dr. Miguel had established regarding staffing ESL openings.
1. If you have an opening and are considering an individual, you need to communicate with Kristen Scott.
2. A member of the ESL department will need to be part of the interview process.
3. All decisions will be made in collaboration with the building and ESL department.
If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Kristen Scott.
Teacher Transfer
From Lisa Wilson
The window for certified voluntary transfer requests will be open from March 1, 2016 through April 15, 2016.
To access the request form teachers can log in to the employee portal and see the link on the left.
The window to request a transfer closes on April 15, 2016 and requests submitted after this date will not be accepted.
Teachers who wish to be considered for a transfer, even if a vacancy does not currently exist, must submit a request to be considered.
All voluntary transfers will be completed by the last working day for elementary principals. If you do not receive notice of a transfer you will remain at your same site unless notified otherwise by Human Resources.

Correction ??? All Human Resource related board agenda items must be turned in to Lisa Wilson the Tuesday before the board for the regular agenda and the Thursday before the Board for the addendum. In the case of an emergency add, please let Lisa Wilson or Dr. Kelli Mather know, but understand these will be exceptions.
