Early Notification Resolution for Certified Staff

-
    As shortages in the field of education continue to increase, the Agency would like to identify potential vacancies as early as possible so we have the opportunity to interview the brightest and best applicants to fill those vacancies. Therefore, at the recent October 2018 GHAEA Board meeting, the Board adopted an early notification resolution for certified staff.     The resolution authorizes a $1,500 payment to certified staff members who submit an original, signed retirement or resignation letter no later than January 11, 2019, effective for the end of the 2018-19 contract year. Disbursement of the payment will happen with the June 28, 2019 payroll, and will be subject to applicable payroll taxes, but is not IPERS eligible. Any questions can be directed to Lori Kinyon , Director of HR.

Meet the Meeting Owl

Each of our Regional Offices has a video conferencing tool called Meeting Owl. This device has multiple mics, speakers and cameras capable of covering the entire room. It is best used whenever a group of people are around a table setting connecting with remote locations via zoom or hangouts. To use Meeting Owl all you need to do is to plug it in to the power source and plug in the USB cable  from the Meeting Owl to the computer used for video conferencing. Hint: you may need to select the Meeting Owl Mic/Sound/Camera sources within your zoom or hangouts app. Folks in the remote locations will be able to see a panoramic view of the room on the top with the most active speakers below. If people inside the room where the Meeting Owl is, need to see the remote sides, the person controlling the video conferencing session (zoom, hangouts) can project the image using our Google Cast devices. Below is the list of Meeting Owl locations and who controls them or who to conta
