Great news!  As of today, 98% of licensed employees and 95% of classified employees have completed the required Crucial Policies review, which includes the new Code of Conduct training.  However, there is still work to be done as only 36% of all miscellaneous employees have completed Crucial Policies.  As you may recall, this Code of Conduct training is required of all employees, including sweepers (adult and student), coaches, substitutes, misc. student assistants, misc. classroom substitutes and all other miscellaneous employees.  The Crucial Policies Review is accessed in Skyward Employee Access.

Reports outlining employees in your school/department who have yet to complete the Crucial Policies will be emailed to you by the Information Systems Department.  Please notify each employee of this requirement.  Our hope is to have all employees complete this required training by January 15, 2020.  We will run reports again at that time and will provide updated employee lists, if necessary.  If any employee listed is no longer employed, please email your HR feeder assistant.

Employees needing assistance in accessing Skyward Employee Access are directed to contact the Help Desk at 801-567-8737.

Dear Schools and Departments:

We have a situation where 40 brand new chairs have been delivered to Bingham High School, and the school is unable to use them for their area.

School Specialty is offering to sell these chairs at a discount if any other school in the district would be interested in taking them.

They are the National Public Seating Cafetorium Stack Chairs, with a thin upholstered black vinyl seat, black plastic back on Chrome Frame with sled base legs on glides.  These are a regular table height chair, not cafe/bar height.   Here is a picture:

https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3545118

Bingham's price to purchase was $69.93/each.  School Specialty is offering these at $50.00/each ($2,000 for all 40 chairs).   One box has been opened, but most are still boxed and all are in new condition.

Please contact Tonya Hodges in the Purchasing Department by Wednesday, November 20th by end of day if you are interested in purchasing these chairs.

SUBJECT:     
FTE Audit Report 2019-20

As promised, this year the FTE Audit Report may be completed electronically!

The HR administrators are excited to offer an electronic FTE audit report to all directors. Timelines for completing the audit are outlined below:

Electronic FTE Audit Process:

  • November 4, 2019 – HR will share with directors and department administrative assistants the FTE Audit Report via Google Sheets. Please review the report with your administrative assistant. The report will include verification of faculty/staff, FTE, title and budget code(s). Please refer to the “Instructions” sheet in the document for assistance in completing the audit.
  • November 11, 2019 – DUE DATE for the FTE Audit Report to be completed for HR to process. Please email an HR Administrator when you have completed your audit.
  • THE BEST NEWS OF ALL – All corrections made on the FTE Audit Report will be made by HR upon return. Change forms will not be required; however, new hires not listed on the report will require the submission of a hire sheet to HR.

We are hopeful the electronic version of the FTE Audit Report process will be an improvement for you and your staff. Please feel free to share any feedback regarding this process with an HR administrator. We will consider all suggestions and work to improve this process for future use.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
