Welcome Back!
The 2009-2010 school year is upon us, and we would like to welcome each of you back. As we all know, it has been a busy, yet fruitful summer.
I think it is safe to say that we can expect this to be a year of change. As you are aware, we now have a new Education Commissioner, Dr. David Milton Steiner in the New York State Education Department, the NYS grade 3-8 testing has been moved to May, the new ELA standards are in the works, the new Differentiated Accountability system is in effect, and regulatory requirements continue to change.
Here in Educational Resources we have experienced change as well. We are the recipients of the new Regional Special Education Technical Assistance Support Center which will provide a whole new level of support to administrators, teachers, and students in our region. In addition, we have changed our Substitute Calling Software to Aesop. This new system not only provides additional access for building and district level administrators in our service, but also has the ability to integrate with My Learning Plan and your finance management systems. There are a great many new faces in the Educational Resources Division, and we look forward to continued growth as we continue to strive to offer more efficient and effective services to meet your growing needs.
As this year progresses we are excited to work with you to continue to provide cost-effective and collaborative services in support of our Dutchess County students, faculties, administrators, and staff members. We wish you each a successful and exciting 2009-2010 school year.
