 District Accreditation Forms Past Due
17 of our 23 schools have submitted their forms for the DAC. Remember, there is an annual form for non-accredited schools and a different from for accredited schools. Nasty-ish phone calls start next week. The non-NLSA schools form can be found here http://nwdlcms.org/uploads/Non-NLSA_Schools_ANNUAL__STANDARDS__REVIEW.pdf

 Overtime Law
Many now realize the new overtime law, starting in December, is a big deal. Any overtime for someone making less then $47,000 annually, must be paid. 
Our current understanding is that teachers, clergy and religious workers will be exempt. But what does that really mean and who does it really include? Watch for specific guidance coming soon from District and Synod. 

 Summer
I pray that you take the time you need to refresh, think and plan over these summer months. If you don't take care of yourself and if you don't consider God's plan for your ministry...well, no one will.

I'll be around this summer for whatever you need, but will be in and out often. Big events out for DJ will include...
  • Education Executives national meeting
  • LWML State Conference 
  • Synod Convention
  • National Youth Gathering
  • National Accreditation Commission
  • Summer travel teams
  • Hopefully some vacation
