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.

Extended Year Special Educator Stipends 2022-23

Attached you will find information and guidelines regarding the Extended Year Stipend that is available to Special Education Teachers and SLP's. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully.

The state has allotted 5 extra days to work either two weeks before or two weeks after your contract ends. The eligible timeline for these days is July 27-Aug 9, 2022 and/or June 6-19, 2023. You can work them all before, all after, or a combination of both. Please keep track of the days you worked in the fall so when spring comes you will know how many you have left.

The days you work are turned in on a Qualtrics survey that the state sends us to generate the payroll information. Unfortunately, we have not yet received this link, but we wanted you to know what the timeline was since it is coming up quickly. The link will be emailed to you as soon as we receive it.
