SUPPORT SERVICES AND EVALUATION SYSTEMS
As we begin the second semester of the 2006-07 school year, your school's PAI process will be in an important phase with Observations and Feedback Conferences being completed and Annual Performance Reports/Conferences being finalized. You may find that questions will arise among your administrative team regarding various facets of the District's evaluation processes.
Jan Holley, Evaluation Systems Director, is available to provide on-site PAI support for your administrative teams, if desired. She'll be glad to come to your school to meet with one or all members of your administrative team regarding any of the evaluation processes (before, during, or after the school day). She can review the Superintendent's Special Emphasis Item, PAI procedural issues, classified evaluations, have a Q & A session, or focus on other designated area(s) of your choosing. If interested, please contact Jan Holley to schedule your on-site visit.

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AND ETHICS
Nonrenewal Process
Please be reminded that teachers at risk for possible nonrenewal should be placed on a Professional Development Plan (PDP) as soon as possible. Nonrenewal Proposals are due to the Area Assistant Superintendents on Friday, February 2, 2007.
Please pay special attention to teachers who are on the verge of acquiring tenure in CCSD. Those teachers fall into the following two general categories:
1) Teachers who are in their third year with CCSD and who have not previously acquired tenure with another district in Georgia i.e. new teachers currently in their third year.
2) Teachers who are in their first year with CCSD but who have previously acquired tenure in school district in Georgia i.e. new transfers from other districts with 3+ years of experience.
If you have any questions regarding the nonrenewal process, please consult your Supervisor's Guide to Documentation or contact John Adams at (770) 420-4958.

“Professionals Serving Everyday Heroes”
Memorandum
TO: Principals/Administrators
FROM: J. Randall Reece, Ed.D.
Chief Human Resources Officer
DATE: January 3, 2007
SUBJECT: Reporting to / Release from work on Inclement Weather Days
The Executive Cabinet recently met to review our Inclement Weather protocol. The following memo captures the revisions to the protocol effective immediately.
Please share this memo with all staff as soon as possible.
When Cobb County School district Schools are closed due to inclement weather, the following employees are required to report to work.
Twelve-Month Employees
All twelve-month employees should report to work unless they consider their routes unsafe. Twelve- month employees unable to work a full day must use vacation, personal leave or sick leave (if sick) for the partial or full day absence. Non-exempt employees may also use accrued compensatory time for the absence.
Local School Staff
When the announcements state that local school staff should report, these employees should report by the time designated by the public announcement.
o Certified Staff (Teachers, Media Specialists, Counselors, Area Lead Teachers and Assistant Administrators)
o Paraprofessionals
o Clerical Staff
o School Nurses
o Less than twelve-month Campus Police Officers
o Less than twelve-month Central Office Staff
o Social Workers
o Psychologists
o Lunchroom Managers
Personal leave, sick leave (if sick), vacation or accrued comp time must be used if unable to report to work. In making up time lost due to inclement weather, no overtime may be accrued and no overtime pay will be issued.
When local schools are closed, food service employees and bus drivers should not report to work. There will be an in-service scheduled at a later date for these employees.
