November 11, 2014 at 10:00 AM - SCS Administration Meeting

1.  Book Discussion:  Distribute "Mind Set" and divide up the chapters.  Our goal is to complete the book by the end of the first semester.

2.  Inclement Weather:  Discuss the protocol and responsibility for school cancellation.  You are responsible for your building.  Dr. Hoesing will review this process on Wednesday, November 26th with all staff.  Many of our staff commute from a distance.  They will need to decide if it is safe for them to get on the road and contact their building principal if they will need to adjust their arrival.  I ask that staff use common sense and not take chances to put themselves or others at risk by getting on the roads before they are safe.

3.  Teacher Evaluation Program:  Dave Gibbons, Stephen Grammer, and Dr. Hoesing will go to Ashland-Greenwood to see the I-Observation teacher/principal supervision and evaluation program in use.  Our goal is to pilot this program in the second semester at the middle school with select staff.  If effective, we will make the recommendation for district-wide adoption for the 2015-16 school year.

4.  Strategic Planning:  Reviewed and finalized the strategic planning report document.  Discuss strategies for managing the change process and the workshop structure.  We also discussed possible dates for hosting strategic planning workshops at each building in December.
