· Fire Safety week coming up.
· Continue to work with students with alternate paths.
· Inspections went well, nothing major to report.
· Looking to get J and G to come in and help schools learn how to use the fire system you might have.
· Might need to have a password to put out building on test. Chris Tweet will take care of it for the district.

· RISD has a little over $10 million in cash reserves.
· $650 million short in the state. Looking for $150 million from PED.
· 8% of your budget is $5.6 million. Basically leaves us with $3.4 Mil. That would be a cash sweep.
· The majority of the districts are pushing for a SEG hit. This would be more equitable. This number would be about $1.1 million for the RISD.
· $37 million gained in this. $30 million from textbooks/dual credit, $22 million below the line from PED.
· NO programs cut/NO positions cut.
· More than likely the legislature will put an increase in class sizes in February.
· This will require us to look at schedules and class sizes at the High School and Mid School levels.
Teacher Evaluations
· Evaluations that are being petitioned to the state will have a disclosure on them that says PENDING REVIEW.
· The PED is still looking at why the EOC data did not get loaded correctly.
Dr. Northrup
· STC training will be October 19 at 8:00. Breakfast will be at 7:30.
· Make sure if you have people who have questions please try and deal/get with that teacher ASAP to help avoid future problems. As always please let Dr. Northrup know if you need any help.
· Looking to do a better job of scheduling the PARCC and EOC for High and Middle schools. Last year it seemed like we went directly from PARCC to EOC with no break in between.
· PED has noted that if RISD goes over 1% SPED accommodations they will come in for an audi
Eddie Ramirez
· Purchasing Violations
· New procedure and new form. The originator of the PO will now have to basically explain what happened and why before or if payment will be made.
Tamie Pargas
· Please make sure that everyone knows FMLA is not automatic, that it actually has to go through a process.
· Continue to look for highly qualified teachers and not just settle for long term subs. (Board directive!)
· Looking at ways to improve the manner at which $$$ gets mailed in the pony.
· PDP/PGP/PCPP all should be done and on their way to Central office.
· License advancements and Dossiers can still go on you will simply not receive the bump for this year.
· If you have any teachers who have still not been given a contract send Tamie their name ASAP!!!!
· Teachers or EA’s who are taking classes for the career ladder need to let Tamie know who and how they are doing????
· Evaluations that were held are now ready to be handed out.
· 40 day counts are tomorrow October 13, 2016.
Brandy Samuel
· Be careful with IEP attendance, especially if you are using a designee. Make sure that you are ok with who you have in there.
· Gen ed teachers should probably never say “I don’t know your kid I have never seen them.”
· All relevant members of the team need to be there or the IEP needs to be cancelled.
· Remember Annual or triannual IEP’s will take longer than 30 minutes.
· Bully survey will be October 31- November 4.
· Missed 87 IEP’s in the district. Must have 87 validations to PED by Friday or we could not be validated as a district.
· Testing accommodations.
· Need to be careful that we only have 1% of our kids with mods for testing.
Dr. Romero Elisia Begueria
· Edulastic= some issues but still feel very happy about the progress that we have had.
· As of today the window will close and principals will have access to the test.
· Feedback as to how to improve the test is already rolling in.
· Hopefully the feedback will help develop more useful assessments for the teacher.
· Even with some of the problems what is coming from it has been far more beneficial than what has happened in the past.
· Survey monkey link will show up today.
· One link per grade level.
· Be looking for our 90-day plan work book
