“real world” learning experiences, job shadowing and mentorships
ensuring that students have guidance and support as they plan for their futures beyond high school

ability to engage in learning through the use of a variety of devices
knowledge and skills as it relates to the use of digital devices of all types
“cutting edge” in technology
will enhance their understanding of how technology is being used by students
Priority Issues for Consideration in the Development of the Budget
for SY14-15 from Internal Department Meetings:
Aging fleet Full-time supervisor Lack of an approved bus replacement schedule Lack of funding to address the replacement needs
Aging buildings An up-dated Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to align needed repairs/replacements for all buildings on a 5-year plan of action
A full-time manager Addressing USDA federal/state regulations of the program
Imbalanced pay scales and indexes Out-dated job descriptions throughout all departments (last reviewed 2007) Need for computer-based management systems to track substitute usage and costs On-line application/hiring management system to streamline our human resources management department Understanding our current policies/regulations as they relate to the implementation of the affordable health care act
Inadequate implementation of the accounting management system Critical need for policy/regulations review/revisions Restructuring personnel within the department to improve efficiency and effectiveness
echnology:
Full-time supervisor of technology Development of a computer replacement plan for inclusion in the CIP Re-examination of staffing within the department to address the imbalance of infrastructure staff vs. instructional staff Development of a long-range plan to put TCPS’s back at the top in the region in terms of technology integration within the division
Need for enhancing all efforts in communication, including use of technology at the division level as well as the school-level in messaging and branding the division
Priority Issues for Consideration in the Development of the
Budget for SY14-15 from Instructional Leadership/Principal Program Meetings:
(What do they need to know and be able to do?)
(What do teachers need to know and be able to do to address the needs of the students?)
impact student learning (What will teachers need in terms of support to improve student growth and achievement?)
