I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back to the 2016-17 school year as we built we've done it all four cornerstones great teachers great leaders a supportive school board and central office and engage community  last I wanted to build on that by adding an attitude of Excellence from our parents to our teachers to our students I have seen that exemplified throughout our district is it up looked at his house which started the district is we've said we want to be operational before we can be aspirational so so many times we have looked at things to ensure that are be here for many years to come  but I can tell you we have done a great job the first two years so now we're able to Branch out and do a few things differently one of those issues we know one of the issues that many of our teachers have is when you reach the top level of that salary schedule or an employee that reaches that TOP Step so what we're going to do this year if you do not receive a step increase all employees will receive a 2% longevity pay if you do not receive that step this will be reflected on your August 15th paycheck also for a teacher's we have had for many many years I even think back when I was in the classroom it was a $200 discretion we raised that to $250 and that extra $50 will be used by our teachers to go out and purchase those supplies and they so badly need for there's in their classroom  we're excited about the success of a one-to-one initiative I can tell you teachers you have made a difference in our students lives I have gone in those springs for six to ninth grade last year in seeing the incredible things that you have done by integrating technology to get our students ready for the 21st century war with David website about expanding that for a high school so now we will be 6 to 12 and then we can repurpose those devices down into our elementary to give them a rich Tech experience in the elementary school the reasons were doing these things as one we want to celebrate our great employees the wonderful work you do everyday and to Factor stupid  teachers employees staff every single one of you make a difference to our students every single day we hope you have a great answer this weekend I really look forward to seeing you at System Light address on Friday thank you and have a great week
