Description:
It’s hard to believe that it’s August already! We recently held our administrative retreat and our team was able to talk through the details around this year’s starting days, as well as some new state requirements regarding cell phones and dyslexia. The administrative team was also able to have some bonding time together and had a nice late lunch as a whole group. The day was productive and fun!
One item our team also discussed was the update to the District’s strategic plan. The administrative cabinet went through the plan in July and made several updates that will take us through the 2026-27 school year. I will be presenting the updated strategic plan to the Board at the September Board meeting. And in the spring of 2027, we will look to bring back our MASA facilitator and do a full revision of the strategic plan that will go into effect in the fall of 2027. In today’s Board meeting, the Board will be asked to approve salary schedules for the administrative team, in which public schools are now required by Michigan’s Office of Retirement Services. The schedules will show past, current, and future salaries for each administrator, with the future salaries echoing the same increase as our teaching staff. As we look ahead to the start of school, the first day back for staff is Tuesday, August 25th, and we have a full day of professional development with Dr. Anthony Muhammad. Dr. Muhammad is one of the world’s top writers and thinkers in education and learning, and we are excited for this time with him. The Board is welcome to attend any part of this event, which will be held in our auditorium from 8am to 3pm with an hour of lunch from 11:30-12:30. |
