 * **STAFF EVALUATION**- follow-up
 * Charlotte Danielson Model
 * Ellen, Nancy, Stuart have used it
 * Ellen's Input
 * Advanced Ed team visitation said their ESU come up with a system that is universal for the entire ESU
 * SPED staff is all using it as well as NCECBVI
 * Use an end of the year conversation with everyone
 * will submit to NDE
 * will be on Google Docs
 * Used Charlotte Danielson's info so as not to reinvent the wheel
 * She has found the time commitment is difficult.
 * Stuart's Input
 * Evaluates certificated staff only
 * 57 need to be evaluated
 * overwhelmed with the time it will take
 * Pre, post, goal only
 * Keeping track of paperwork will be difficult
 * Uses File Maker Pro
 * Oct. 15 goal tied to student achievement
 * Upload artifacts for Domains 1 and 4
 * Created an iPad app to log observations
 * challenge will be finding time to meet with them to score the rubric
 * May need to this in person
 * Could do conference call or iChat
 * Observe themselves,
 * video tape lesson/session
 * watch it and score themselves
 * Veteran staff are on a 3-year cycle
 * off years, the staff does the process themselves
 * Have district feedback form
 * Larianne
 * ESU7 has started to develop it for all staff in agency
 * Rule 84 has really delayed the process for the development of the evaluation for other than SPED staff because the status of certificated vs. classified for all other ESU staff is not yet determined
 * What do we do from here?
 * Share the information at next meetings
 * Standing agenda item
 * Learn of other Charlotte Danielson's model


 * ESUPDO--November 15 & 16, 2011 - ESU #3 & January 10 & 11, 2012 TBA
 * Jane discussed the need for ESUPDO website to have a description of the each meeting on the home page
 * The feeling of ESPD is that there needs to be a better 'agenda'
 * Deb Hericks said the iMat is the most important part... the first day
 * there will be 6 vendors represented to pitch who will be our next iMat vendor
 * The other part of the day is to be determined by affiliates and/or groups
 * November 15, 16 are on the ESUPDO website for registration


 * **Final Billing** - reimbursable vs. non-reimbursable
 * no one separates it out for final billing so as not to confuse the districts
 * 2 lines
 * reimb and non reimb
 * all ESU costs are not using non reimb costs
 * ie: essential office cost
 * overhead
 * ESU 10 is next in January for the State Audit
 * **Fiscal Reviews with Alice Senseny-**-
 * Time and effort logs
 * need a log for any staff paid out of multiple sources when grants are included
 * Stipends were okay
 * Records and reports were necessary
 * **Additional Items**
 * File Reviews
 * Sped Directors are not consistently notified by NDE when they are happening
 * The training happens either in the first part of the review or on another day
 * Some ESUs get all Part B, C and desk audit in the same day
 * Facilitator grants contribute $5000 each year
 * This year it will come out very soon, within the next week or so.
 * This money goes for sped web support for all statewide support (non-SRS related)
 * SRS will continue to be billed the same way
 * ESUCC bill ESU and then bill the districts
 * Need an approved rate
 * Districts claim on the Contracted Services page as a service
 * Feeling from the group as to this process
 * fine, no problems
 * Will continue to do it this way
 * Billings for SRS will go out in April
