Also, there is going to be a webinar every month which can be used to fulfill the mandatory training hours.The problem is the timing of these trainings.They should have began in September. The work of the SLT in conducting its needs assessment and formulating goals occurs during the Fall and early Winter sessions.Aligning the budget occurs in the Spring.By allowing extensions for submitting the CEP into the following school year,the process is undermined.

The principal at my high school brought this year's CEP to our Dec. 15 meeting. We had 45 minutes of discussion and then were asked to sign. I was not happy with Goal #1 or Goal #5, plus I was not happy with the fact that we had so little time to study the document. So I did not sign. what happens next? I gave the principal a written statement to send in lieu of my signature.
Also, I did not sign off on a Homework Policy for the school, another matter for discussion. There was one section on Long-Term Assignments that did not belong in that policy document. Thus, we did not reach consensus. The principal declared that our role was "advisory" and issued the policy even though consensus was not reached. What next?
