Actions Based on Dept. Head Blog Input

First, these issues are not "BIG" school-wide issues and are normally made at an administrative level. These are decisions that affect staff and it does help me to have staff input. I would love to have a process to involve staff in this kind of input without taking much of your time. This is an alternative to everyone sitting down for a 60 minute meeting.

1. we will purchase the color laser supplies for the printer in C. Seeley's lab

2. we won't do copy codes but will continue to remind staff to use copying in a reasonable way and will continue to tie Department budgets to the general copy budget

3. we will fund the Science Nature Trail for $400 and reserve $1600 to have an open library

4. the Alternative classes as part of the Skyview general schedule is a big, ongoing conversation. I expect that this will continue to be discussed at Dept. Head meetings. Bottom line, I hope that we can agree that our goal is to maximize the number of students who leave/graduate from Skyview with the ability to graduate from high school on time, while maintaining high academic standards.

Thank you for participating. I welcome your input into how this Department Head Blog worked for you. Just comment...
