Here’s the scoop for the week

Have you had a chance to complete the MASA Annual Member Survey?

Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with the MASA Board of Directors. Please complete the survey here! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights with us!

Non-Exclusionary Discipline Email Contact for your Questions & Additional Info

MDE has established this email contact [email protected] where you can send questions you have about non-exclusionary discipline given recent legislation. Also of note is that MDE’s non-exclusionary disciplinary team has established a principal committee to help support the creation of guidance documents as well as function as an advisory group/cohort on what’s needed to help principals and staff move forward. The first meeting of the group is scheduled for August 3, from 2-3pm.

Join the 110 School Districts who use the MASA Jobsite!

Post unlimited job vacancies, for all levels of positions. The MASA Jobsite Online is well managed with daily attention to detail and customer service. The cost of an annual subscription is less than just a few advertisements placed in the major and local newspapers. Also, the Department of Education recognizes the MASA Jobsite as a valid advertisement when a school district is seeking a variance for a teacher in a specific subject.

We have found that with staffing changes some new school district employees working to advertise job openings are unfamiliar with this service offered by MASA. Please share this link, https://jobsitemnasa.org/, with whomever is responsible for posting open positions for your school district.  If you do not use this service, click on the link to find out more information.
