SIG and FOCUS Funds Deadline

From Robert Young
As a reminder to all schools receiving either SIG or FOCUS funds, the deadline for encumbering these funds is September 30, 2016. Beyond that date, funds will no longer be able to be accessed.

Additionally, the funds must be expended by November 30, 2016. Receipt of goods or services and receipt and submission of all invoicing must be completed by this date.

Please be mindful of these dates as you look to allocate and spend this funding.

Non-Classroom Instructional Growth and Evaluation Process

From Shelly Beech
This is a reminder that all Non-Classroom Instructional Support Staff should be completing the Growth Plan and be evaluated using the Non Classroom Instructional Support Form. They should not be using the Teacher Growth and Evaluation form. Please make sure that they are completing the correct growth plan and you are using the correct form to evaluate them.

This would include counselors, nurses, and librarians at the building level and assigned to principals or assistant principals.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call or email.

Resources for Bond Referendum

From David A. Smith
Administrators,

We are making a number of resources available for you to use in talking with your staff and the community about the upcoming bond referendum. Dr. Cynthia Lane, superintendent, has created a video which provides a general explanation of the bond referendum. You can access the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1MZIptmPjs

Please make sure that your staff have an opportunity to view the video during Wednesday afternoon early release. We also would appreciate your setting up the video on a laptop connected to a screen or monitor, to run on a loop during Family Advocacy. There is additional information available about the bond on the bond referendum page: kckps.org/pleasevote, including the Powerpoint used during the Administrators’ Meeting.

The district will also be sending out two posters for each school, which provide detailed information about the bond, for you to post in a visible place in your building. Thank you in advance for putting them up. You will also be receiving several additional items over the next several weeks, including buttons for each staff member to wear, and backpack fliers in English/Spanish to send home with students and post on SchoolLoop. We will let you know when these additional materials are available.

Thanks for your support.
