He is the associate superintendent for Alexander and in charge of choosing participants for the PLC groups from there. I am glad she is staying.

I know Mr Joey!!! We taught in classrooms next door to each other years ago at North Wilkes High School---he is the testing coordinator for Alexander(?)

Linda,

Loretta is just saying that she will not attend the April meeting. She is not quitting the group. We issued that question. Also, who is Joe Bullis?

Loretta,

Thanks for your past commitment to the group. Hopefully this freeze will lift. If so, would you like to continue with us. if not, please contact Joe Bullis so that he might find a replacement for you.

Sorry, we've been on Easter break. I don't think I am willing to give up 4 hours a month with driving 120 miles for no stippend. I really enjoy the PLC group, but with things as tight as they are these days, I will have to decline further participation this year. Hope everyone has a great summer and that our economy gets moving again & we can enjoy these types of groups again in the near future.

You may have seen Linda McCalister's earlier posting:
 
We have been notified that until further notice, all
expenditures involving state monies are frozen. All remaining
PLC and PDS meetings will have to be done on a volunteer basis.
I will let you know if this changes. Thank you.

With this said, how many of you will attend an April meeting if you do not receive a stipend? Our plan for that session was to present some of the possible new technology that will be used to facilitate communications for the PLC in the near future, to discuss the upcoming year and possible opportunities, and to end the year with supper some where. Any thoughts?

We need two high school math teachers from the partnership region. Loretta if we have no takers from the region we would like for you to participate. Thanks

I hate to sound negative, but April 23&24 is the weekend of Merlefest in Wilkes Co.
I seriously doubt we'll have takers from our county. :(
I can't come b/c we take our 8th graders to Merlefest on that Friday. Amy

Are you wanting just high school? If you need middle school reps also, I would be willing.
