[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 295425, member: 3820"] One thing I would keep in mind is that trying to meet before school starts may mean that some team members can't attend the meeting. I've worked for over 5 different school districts in three different states - most teacher's contracts actual cover very few days before and after school ends. E.G. my current district only pays for 182 contract days, only two days before school starts are required! Many teachers and specialists (i.e. Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), PT) go in to set up rooms and equipment on their own time. My parents were high school teachers for 20 years in California and they both spent 1-2 weeks on their own dime setting up their classrooms, they only got paid to attend the "principal directed" workshop days before school started. You stated that staff are back at school - I would advise you to double check with the school district's teacher's union to check on their contract. If teachers aren't going to be paid for the meeting time you may want to reconsider. Remember that administrators (principals, etc) aren't on teacher's contracts and so usually work all year around. Some districts have the school psychologists on administrator contracts. [/QUOTE]
