File Attachment:
Summary: In an effort to provide leadership support to our staff who are often on the front lines with families and students, we would like to invite Steve Thomas to provide some leadership training, development and support to our principals and district administrators during Principal Professional Development as well as to our Face Liaisons during their monthly FACE meetings. The focus of these meetings will be to provide a space for these leaders and staff members to reflect on their experiences and receive ideas and motivation to support their current and future work. What we know for sure is that as we support the social and emotional learning of students, we must also do this for staff. These meetings therefore will address Adult SEL while also supporting the leaders and staff members with ideas to support their goals, priorities, and decisions. The plan is for Mr. Thomas to support principals and district leaders during the months of March and May at PPD. There will also be two sessions for FACE Liaisons, one in the month of February and one in March.

Each session will be $1500 with four sessions totaling $6000.
Funding: Title II
Resolution: WHEREAS, Springfield School District 186 is committed to offering leadership and SEL support and development to staff; and

WHEREAS, Steve Thomas has worked in leadership development for more than 30 years and travels the country leading powerful discussions that help people and organizations grow and improve vigorously;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Education approves the agreement with Steve Thomas Consulting for a total amount of $6,000 to be paid by Title II funds.
