To accept our application for one year, we had to make these changes: We no longer can get paid for PLC meetings – this means PLC meetings can be held right before school and right after school. Each PLC will have a general goal. Each member will create a Smart Goal aligned to the PLC general goal. If the member achieves his/her goal, he/she will earn $520. The 1 st Portfolio will be similar to what LC did in the past The 2 nd Portfolio will be taped by a trained observer. A new Rubric and Sliding Scale was developed. Payment will be given for Action Research (Monthly Strategy) Reflection.

These changes will help: with the resubmitting of our application by May 15, with the alignment to the Statue 2010, Section 14, Subdivision 8, which will be implemented next year.

We will be meeting in PLC’s today. Set your first meeting date. Spend some time getting to know your new members. LONSDALE – Leader - Anne Pientka Kristen Schlingman – PreK-2 Mary Kunelius 3-4, Special Ed., Music
