SPECIAL PROJECTS REQUEST AND COMPLETION PROCESS

  • The Principal submits a request, in Sprocket, for a Special Project.
  • The request is then routed to Dan Bourgeois in order in order for him to provide an estimate.
  • Once an estimate has been provided, Dan then assigns the request back to the Principal.
  • If the Principal agrees to the estimate, the Principal approves it and routes it to his/her Administrator of Schools.
  • The Administrator of Schools can either approve or deny the Special Project.
  • Judy Bird then completes a Journal Entry from the appropriate accounting code.
  • The Journal Entry is completed by Judy.
  • The Special Project request and the Journal Entry will then be signed by the Staff Assistant of Auxiliary Services.
  • After the Special Project request is signed, it is forwarded to the school for the Principal’s signature.
  • The Principal will then send back the signed Journal Entry to Judy Bird at Auxiliary Services. (School can pay with a check if they prefer.)
  • The original signed Journal Entry is then forwarded to Accounting.
  • Judy Bird then approves the project estimate in sprocket.
  • The Special Project is then forwarded to Dan Bourgeois to have the work completed.

 

Things to Keep In Mind that May Slow Down the Process

There are 4 ways a Special Project request can be delayed.

  1. Awaiting Administrator of Schools approval
  2. Awaiting Auxiliary Services approval
  3. Awaiting Principal approval
  4. Awaiting budget estimate

SUBJECT:
Change of Schedule for Spring Break

A week-long spring break is scheduled for the 2017-18 school year. Students and teachers at both traditional and year-round schools, as well as staff on a 10-month/206-day classified contract or a 225-day licensed contract, will be out of school Monday-Friday, April 2-6, 2018.

Currently, employees on a 12-month/242-day or 12-month/245-day contract are scheduled to work Monday-Wednesday (April 2-4) and off on Thursday and Friday (April 5-6). With Easter falling on April 1st, we are implementing a change in the employee calendar to accommodate time off closer to the holiday. Employees in these two groups will have Monday and Tuesday, April 2-3, for spring break and will return to work on Wednesday, April 4th and work through Friday.

If anyone in your department has already made plans based on being off April 5-6, please work with them to resolve any hardship this change may cause them.
