The Importance Of Documentation
Good documentation is essential in making sound decisions involving employee discipline. Documentation becomes critical when the need to recommend an employee for non-renewal or termination arises. Documentation should be clear, comprehensive, detailed and up-to-date. It can include, but is not limited to, notes from meetings, letters of directive, evaluations and employee statements. Be specific when taking notes and always include names, witnesses, time of day, location and what action was taken. The documentation process can protect you and the district from potential legal actions.
Remember....If It Is Not Documented, Then It Did Not Happen!

Looking For Sample PLGs?
If you are working to help an employee develop Professional Learning Goals (PLGs) and would like to view samples, visit the HR Procedures Manual in OneNote. Sample PLGs are located under the Evaluation's Tab.
Remember, the Professional Learning Goal should answer the following questions:
- What do I want to learn or change about my practice that will effectively impact student learning?
- How can I develop a plan of action to address my professional learning?
- How will I know if I accomplished my objective?

It is imperative that all employees (part-time, full-time and retirees) complete the on-line resignation process in order to prevent over-payment and inaccurate record keeping.
