April School Board Meeting Update
Board approves professional development & revised calendar
School Board approves professional development time for all teachers
The Springdale Public Schools School Board voted 7-0 Tuesday, April 12, 2022, to approve weekly Collaborative Team Meeting professional development time for all district teachers.
Collaborative Team Meetings will be implemented on Wednesdays beginning in August and will allow all district teachers to be part of a Professional Learning Community. The communities will provide educators with time to work together to focus on student achievement and data that shows which students are progressing academically and which may need additional support.
District students will be released early on Wednesdays under the new policy. The district is working with the After School Program to provide extended child care for elementary and middle school students enrolled in the program on Wednesday at no additional cost to families. The district is also working with other after-school care programs. Plans to address transportation and staggered release times are under development.
SCHOOL BOARD APPROVES REVISED 2022-23 SCHOOL CALENDAR
Korillene Flanigan named Elementary, Middle and Junior High ALE Assistant Principal
Korillene Flanigan has been selected to serve as the assistant principal of Elementary, Middle and Junior High Alternative Learning Environments for Springdale Public Schools.
Flanigan is currently employed as a Springdale School District counselor and will transition to the newly created ALE position July 1, said Melissa Fink, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and innovation, prekindergarten to seventh grade.
“I have enjoyed serving students and families in my current role and am looking forward to continuing the work in another capacity,” Flanigan said. “I am excited to work alongside Dr. Coby Davis and the K-8 ALE staff. My top priority as a leader is building relationships with parents, students and staff. I believe relationships are the key to a student's success. We can't serve the student and not serve the family.”
