Creating value for Nebraska's career education system |
|
It is surprising how quickly the seasons change in Nebraska. Traveling Interstate 80 last week, I noticed the fields turning already. Is it possible?
PFI has been involved in working with the Department of Education Career Education Office on updates to reVISION, keeping up with LR296 and processing professional development opportunities from this summer and coming fall activities.
If you are not currently aware, I will be taking maternity leave the months of October and November. I will be back on board, fully, the first part of December. My "out of office" email assistant will indicate when I am off and coming back to work part-time and full-time.
If you need immediate assistance while I am away, please contact Rich Katt at 402-471-4808 or rich.katt@nebraska.gov. |
