Reminders/ Other
Title III- The EL Consultant position posting is up on Kent ISD’s applitrack system for the EL Consultant position –the closing date is August 15th
School Improvement Plans due Sept 1
Annual Ed Report- delayed again this year- recommend you proceed like last year without the assessment information and add when it is available.
CD/Tech meeting in Oakland on the 12th
Educator Evaluation- updated costs / Good Reminders: / From Casey Gordon: Consortium members who have not yet received their funding allocation (because they had not received Title III funds during the previous year) are awaiting MDE’s calculation for their allocation based upon the verified 2016 EOY MSDS submission. When their allocations are loaded into the system, we will contact each LEA to determine how they would like to spend their funds and then we will need to do an amendment through MEGS+. This will most likely occur at the start of the school year. This will include: Allegan, Hopkins, Martin, Plainwell, Wayland Union.
