Licensed and Education Support Professionals,

Welcome to the 2022-2023 contract year! An annual reminder, in accordance with DP326 NEG and DP324 NEG, participation in the Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank requires an employee to annually donate one day of accumulated annual leave into the Sick Leave Bank. The Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank is not intended to be used for in-and-out absences, elective medical procedures or other medical care that could be scheduled during non-contract time.

Employees wishing to opt out of participation in the Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank must annually complete the appropriate online form in Employee Access no later than September 1st for current employees and October 1st for first-year employees, including administrators. This opt out request must be submitted annually.

*First year Education Support Professionals and hourly employees are not eligible for sick bank, therefore, a sick bank day will not be deducted (if applicable). Please be aware that policies and eligibility requirements for Licensed (DP324 NEG) and Education Support Professionals (DP326 NEG) employees are different. These and other District policies are available for review at https://policy.jordandistrict.org/.

Special Education Resource and Self-Contained Team Leaders will soon receive a SCRAM report via Move-It of all students who should be receiving services through your school’s special education program(s) at the start of the 2022-23 school year. All team members and service providers need to verify each student on this list as either correct, changed, exited/moved, and/or incomplete. Since only one copy is being sent per “team” (i.e., Resource and Cluster), it is important that resource teams, cluster teams, SLPs, Guidance Specialists and other itinerant providers work together to check and complete the requested information.

Please have your SCRAM Reports and corrected SCRAM returned to the District Office by
Wednesday, September 7, 2022

If you have questions, please contact the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school or Jen Warkentine at (801) 567-8207. Thank you for your conscientious efforts to complete this critical information. Please remember that special education funding is contingent upon the accuracy of this data.

Attached are the special education budget allocations for Resource, Self-Contained Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists for the 2022-23 school year. (Cluster Leaders do not receive a Special Education budget.) Remember that special education monies must be spent in ways that provide the most benefit to special education students with the goal to improve student achievement and performance. It will be up to you, your team, and your school principal/financial secretary to keep track of how much of your budget you have spent individually.

Please note equipment purchases, electronic games and/or any materials that are not instructional in nature must be pre-approved from the Special Education Department. Equipment purchases that are not pre-approved will not be reimbursed. Requests must include the approval from your teacher specialist.

When submitting requisitions, follow Skyward procedures and guidelines. Requisitions for the 2022-23 school year can be submitted anytime between July 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023. The final deadline for all purchasing requests, reimbursement requests, E-checks and P-Card purchases is March 1, 2023. This is a different deadline than we have previously had and will not be extended.

If you have questions regarding your Special Education budget, please call Amanda Hamblin at (801) 567-8177 or the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school.

Due to supplier shortages and global supply chain issues, the Central Warehouse is running very low on Hammermill DP Colored Copy Paper and Springhill Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper. The paper mills that produce Hammermill and Springhill have temporarily stopped taking orders from distributors that sell to the District. The Purchasing Department is currently working on sourcing other brands of DP Colored Copy Paper and Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper that will fill the demand and needs of the District. Please be patient with us while we are doing all we can to make sure schools can order select colors and types of paper. If the paper you need is not currently available in the warehouse, you may look to purchase through Amazon, Office Depot, or Staples under the state contract using your pcard.
