The Administrative manuals for Teachers and Non-teachers, the NCLB Fall 2009 Supplement, and all memos, notes and correspondence pertaining to this BEDS mailing are available only on the SED Web site (http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/irts/beds/).
We suggest the following general procedures with respect to the personnel forms.
- Prior to Information Day (Wednesday, October 7, 2009) in your BOCES, distribute a memorandum to all professional staff members informing them of the date, time and place forms will be completed as well as the items of information they will be asked to verify or enter on the forms.
- When Information Day is held in your BOCES, be sure that all professional employees are asked to attend a forms completion session and complete the appropriate form. In general, two sessions should be held – one for teaching and one for non-teaching staff members.
- The superintendent or his designee must certify that teachers have correctly reported whether they received “high quality professional development” in 2008-09 and whether they are highly qualified to teach each core course assignment. Please see the “NCLB Fall 2009 Supplement” for further information.
