1. Congratulations to the following:

2. This week’s “District Spotlight” comes from Kathy Amos, Yancey County Schools (Region 8) - Career and College Planning K-12 Continuum

In the Fall of 2022, Yancey County Schools (YCS) purchased and implemented the Xello software platform, a “college and career readiness exploration software to prepare Every Student, Future Ready!”  Students at every level are exploring future local, regional and global opportunities in the workforce, 2 year degrees, 4 year degrees and the military.  I have attached a pdf that includes additional information on our Career and College Planning K-12 Continuum.  You may email Kathy Amos kathyamos@yanceync.net or Cynthia Deyton cbdeyton@yanceync.net for further information.

 

3. From Katherine Joyce, NCASA Executive Director:   NCASA’s Conference on Education Leadership is March 22-24 in Concord.  State Treasurer Dale Folwell has been added to the agenda and will discuss what the State Health Plan’s transition to a new benefits administrator means for your districts as well as share the latest on the Teachers and State Employees’ Retirement System.

Another new addition to the agenda is a session being led by NCPAPA to focus on a new pay plan for principals that we are now developing to share with lawmakers.  Plus, you’ll hear the latest legislative developments from the NCASA Advocacy Team.

Please share the attached agenda with your central office and school administrators and encourage them to register. The agenda is packed with 24 peer-led breakout sessions for best-practice sharing in all aspects of school administration. Register groups of 10 or more to receive extra savings. Please email kowens@ncasa.net for registration assistance.

 

4. The NCDPI State Superintendent quarterly meeting will be held March 23 from 10:45 AM - 1:00 PM at the Embassy Suites Charlotte in Concord.  Please click on the link below to register.
