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.

SUBJECT: 
Licensed Employee Advisory Committee for the Board

The Board of Education is forming an advisory committee made up of licensed employees from every school in the District.  The purpose of this committee is to advise the Board regarding issues that affect licensed employees (salaries, grants, leave, etc.).  Representatives will meet four times during the year (November, January, April, and July) and will be compensated at their hourly rate for participation.

Elementary and special schools, Valley High School and Academies will send one representative; middle schools two; and high schools three.  Help us in selecting the assigned number of representatives from your school by using the following process.  Please adhere to these procedures exactly as outlined.

Nomination

Elementary and special schools, Valley High School and Academies will need a minimum of two nominees; middle schools a minimum of three; and high schools a minimum of four.  Additional nominees are at your discretion.

  1. Invite licensed employees to nominate, by secret ballot, the name of the licensed employee they would like to represent your school. Administrators are not eligible to serve on this committee.
  2. Ask those nominated if they would be willing to serve. Serving as a committee member is not mandatory. If a licensed employee is unwilling or unable to serve, ask the next highest vote receiver, until you have the desired number of nominees.

Voting

  1. Prepare a secret ballot for each licensed employee (including administrators) with the names of the nominees. The Board would prefer this be done by secret ballot to ensure that no employee feels pressure to vote for a particular nominee.
  2. All licensed employees at elementary and special schools, Valley High School and Academies should be encouraged to vote for one nominee; middle school licensed employees two; and high school licensed employees three.
  3. Tally the results.
  4. For elementary and special schools, Valley High School and Academies, the top vote receiver is the representative and the next highest will serve as an alternate.
  5. For middle schools, the top two vote receivers are the representatives and the next highest will serve as an alternate.
  6. For high schools, the top three vote receivers are the representatives and the next highest will serve as an alternate.

Please inform the representatives, the alternate, your faculty, and me of the results. Representatives will be contacted with meeting dates, times and location.  The first meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 13th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Thank you for your help with this matter.  We are confident that this advisory committee will have a positive impact on the lives of our educators.

Come one, Come ALL.....

The Employee Health and Wellness training is scheduled twice next Thursday. Principals are encouraged to divide their administrative teams, in order to allow all administrators the opportunity to attend. This training will include a panel of presenters who are experts in the field of Health & Wellness. Each presenter will have an opportunity to describe their program and how their program can assist you and your employees in times of need. Being able to address employee health & wellness needs is deemed essential in attracting and retaining current and future employees.
We hope to see you all there.
