Info from CO about Staff Development Week:
First, I believe there is some confusion about the last day for your instructional aides. Their last day is Tuesday, May 31, 2016 per the attached Work Schedule 2015-16. This document can be found on the H/R website each year; it shows the start and end date for all positions. Also note that Monday, May 30th is Memorial Day which is a district holiday. This means the instructional aides will be off Monday but must work or have an absence entered for Tuesday, May 31st which is their last day.
Second, this year the schedule is really unique where non-returning teachers are concerned because all the professional development is geared toward returning teachers. However, it is very important that all employees, even those leaving the district, are on duty (sign in at their home campuses) May 31 - June 3 because these (4) days are included in their contract and compensation.
Finally, remember the teacher scorecard factors absences so if they do not work and don't report absences for these days their payout may be inflated.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.
Let's do our best to be good stewards of the district funds (tax dollars) by monitoring the attendance closely.
