Roadmap to Success
In an effort to better support HPC and ACE campuses communicate to parents and staff the support systems available in these schools, Communication Services is creating The Roadmap to Success digital and print campaign, which will provide customizable resources. Digital resources include customizable flyers, which can include campus-specific growth areas and parent/staff involvement opportunities. This flyer can be printed and displayed around the campus and/or shared with parents and staff through email, the school web and social media platforms. Yard sign artwork will also be available for schools to order copies through the Graphics Department (cost to be incurred by each school).
Mental Health Services
The mission of the Mental Health Services (MHS) department is to support students' academic success through a variety of services focused on emotional, behavioral and physical wellbeing. Through wrap-around services, the alcohol and drug prevention program, and partnerships with local health clinics, MHS strives to meet the holistic needs of students and their families.

Staff (FTE) Conversions
Through Dallas ISD’s Theory of Action, Human Capital Management provides an opportunity to convert allocations to best serve the student needs of your campus. As we all prepare for the Spring Budget, we would like to remind campuses that it is currently the ideal time to prepare to exercise your autonomy.

Non-Renewal Process Training Resources
Each school year, the State of Texas provides a window of time for districts to recommend Chapter 21 contract employees for non-renewal. Employees must be notified of this recommendation in writing no later than ten (10) business days prior to the last day of instruction. HCM recommends that campus administrators review all videos and other non-renewal resources on the Employee Relations webpage.

Quarantine and Emergency Paid Sick Leave
Human Capital Management has updated quarantine guidelines, which vary based on Covid-19 vaccination status. Per Covid safety guidelines, vaccinated employees may not be required to quarantine. Unvaccinated employees may be required to quarantine up to 5 calendar days if they are determined to be a close contact by Health Services.
Quarantine is a non-working, unpaid status. Employees may not work from home or attend district sponsored activities while they are in quarantine. If you test positive for Covid-19, you may be eligible for Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL), which will allow you to be absent from the work site 5 calendar days from the date of your Covid-positive test.

Compliance with Early Childhood Intervention
Special Services is committed to transitioning children from Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) programs to the Dallas Independent School District. As part of that commitment, the district must comply with the Texas Education Agency’s State Performance Plan (SPP) Indicator 12. SPP Indicator 12 is a 100 percent compliance indicator.
The ECI Transition Flowchart explains each step in accordance with current State established initial evaluation timelines. In each step, you will be able to follow the ECI transition process, identify who will need to be involved, plan ahead by reviewing ARD meeting schedules prior to deadlines, and adhere to the timelines associated.
If you have questions or need assistance, you may contact the Child Find office at ChildFind@dallasisd.org or request support through Let’s Talk.
