School Finance Update

 

Click here for a copy of the Power Point presentation on school finance trends that was used at the superintendent’s conference and the MSBA Summer Seminar.  The presentation contains a wealth of information that you may want to incorporate into your own presentations to local groups, etc.

 

 

H1N1 Resources

 

I know you are getting overwhelmed with information related to H1N1 and I don’t want to be redundant so I am simply forwarding you links to some helpful web sites for your reference:

OLA Evaluation

 

The Office of the Legislative Auditor is conducting an evaluation of alternative education programs.  Several AMSD superintendents and school board members recently participated in a roundtable discussion with Judy Randall, the OLA staff person working on the evaluation, to provide input.  All superintendents should have received a survey in the mail this week.
