Some suggestions include:
Inviting staff at a staff meeting to select whether to complete the inventory over a period of weeks or to complete it on a given afternoon as a staff. Others are considering doing the work themselves to not over-burden teachers. 

Action Step: Complete site inventory by April 28th.

Human Resources
4/16/06
Currently new schools have completed their initial round of interviews for candidates of the consolidating schools. Simmons, Havenscourt and Elmhurst have put forward their recommendations for the hiring of staff at the current sites. In total, of those teachers who sought positions at one or more of the new schools opening at their current sites, twelve teachers from Simmons and Havenscourt have been recommended for positions for the coming year.
 
An incomplete list of staffs for each consolidating has been received by NSDG and is being updated and separated to send to site leaders to assist in informing which senior staff are eligible for available positions at the consolidating school. Principals are encouraged to complete initial master schedules for the coming year to ensure a clear picture of staffing needs.
 
The HR timeline has changed and the previously stated dates for which the consolidating staff would be availed vacancies for the coming year has been changed. These changes affect all other dates presented by HR to sites back in March. This will mean that staff who do not wish to remain at the site or who were not recommended for hire by the new schools, will review the Position List to select positions at a date later than previously stated by HR. The current draft HR calendar is still being finalized, and HR will be presenting the calendar to site leaders and NEx'O's personally in the coming week/s. (This is unofficial, based on a variety of sources.)
