Dear Life School Staff,
Members of the District System Development Committee (DSDC) continue to meet as we prepare to implement the Teach Incentive Allotment (TIA) program for Life School teachers. In an effort to keep you better informed about this program, we have created a webpage on the Life School Extranet. We would like to encourage all teachers and administrators to click here and watch a brief 3-minute video to learn more about the TIA program and what it could mean for teachers in our district. Any questions that you might have regarding the TIA can be directed to TIA@lifeschools.net.
Also, today is the final day to complete the Stakeholder Engagement survey. We are asking all teachers and campus administrators to please click here to take the survey and provide feedback on the most recent decisions that have been made. The survey will close tonight, Friday, March 5th.
Please mark your calendars to join us for a Town Hall Meeting to gather additional feedback from our stakeholders. We would love to hear from you, please submit questions ahead of time to TIA@lifeschools.net.
