If you are preparing the CE report, be sure that you do not include teachers’ salaries. If you must put a number in that field, just use 0.

We did receive written clarification that non- public schools do not have to submit their teacher evaluation plan. Our diocesan policy is annual evaluation for all teachers and that is what the state requires. There is not yet a prescribed form, but we expect to adopt one in the Spring after schools work with the proposed instrument from our diocesan committee. Principals do not need to report anything to IDOE on this.

ELM Don’t forget that the New Testament ELM class this week has been canceled. The last three dates for the class will be June 13, 14, and 17.

Happy Birthday! Louise Smith, October 16th
