Weekly Update for Ben Milam Families
Staffing Changes for 2018 -2019
I am excited to announce the addition of an assistant principal for Ben Milam Elementary for next school year. Almost all schools in Dallas ISD will have both a principal and an assistant principal. I have created an interview team of teachers and a parent who will help select a qualified candidate to join our team. We have already interviewed one candidate who will be meeting with our Executive Director, Clarita Rivera.
We will also be adding a Campus Instructional Coach (CIC) position back for next year. We had one last year but traded the position for a classroom teacher. This person will provide instructional support to all teachers as we improve the instruction for all students.
Lastly, we will be adding new teachers to our team as some of our current teachers leave Milam. I will always use a team of our teachers to interview teacher candidates. Any recommendation for a Milam vacancy will only come after positive feedback from current Milam staff members.
