Lopat's Lowdown
Office of the Principal - Faculty Newsletter February 21st
I always encourage self-reflection and sometimes I tend to over analyze when I reflect on situations. I reflected on the last week in my job and specifically the break-ins. Admittedly, it stressed me out and made me anxious to not be in control of the safety situation. I paced around the house Sunday night while frantically texting people information. Knowing that master keys were out there (even when I was told they weren't) and that teachers were fearful of coming to our school on the weekend, kept me up at night. I appreciate the help and support through the process of identifying the individuals responsible for breaking into our school.
- New compensation schedule will be out soon. It's exciting and addresses compression and prevents leapfrogging.
- Here is the presentation right off of Board Docs--https://go.boarddocs.com/az/gpsaz/Board.nsf/files/BLGP8Y633B61/$file/COMP%20STUDY%20PRESENTATION.pdf
- My plan- Once I get access to Canyon Rim specific employees, I will block off time to meet with any support staff employee and go over any questions or proposed change in pay or job code. If there are still questions, OTM will be out here for half a day to answer questions, as well. No date is confirmed so stay tuned
- From acting Principal Nora Volkman in Mrs. Campbell-- "I hope you help your students learn a lot each year. I want more reading time and a dance party everyday starting Monday!"
Have a great weekend,
-Joe
