Recognize the parents who are getting their kiddos to school, a the students that are at school. Especially those that have many absences. Weekly/Biweekly recognition the parents with students TK-5 and older students personally 6-12.

Some departments at the district office need to have a face lift desperately (carpet in staff lounges, carpet replacements, painting to modernize), especially PDA side.

Many employees rarely get recognition for their daily hard work, a program that is not vote based, but rather some sort of measure to praise the hard workers that is based on the actual work they do well.

It often feels like the same group of six people are always thanking each other on the google survey, which makes the gesture lose some of its impact.

Wanted to seek clarification regarding the attendance policy for 12-month employees at the District Office. It seems that we are currently being held to the same standards as school-site employees who follow the school session calendar. However, unlike them, we do not automatically receive school breaks and are unable to schedule appointments during that time.

Throughout the year, we do our best to schedule appointments in a way that minimally impacts our team—often using just an hour or two rather than taking full days off, ensuring our work is completed and responsibilities are covered, especially since we do not have substitutes.

Given this, I am concerned that any partial time off (such as one or two hours) is being counted as a full day and factored into our absence percentage as such. This practice feels inequitable and may unintentionally encourage employees to take full days off instead of managing their time responsibly.

Could we please get clarification on this policy? Is there an opportunity to adjust the way partial time off is calculated so it accurately reflects the actual time used?

Thank you for your time and consideration.
