The document is a message to a school district governing board expressing concern over the superintendent, Dr. Mohr. The employee was disappointed to learn of Dr. Mohr's actions and feels he is no longer a suitable leader and role model for students. Specifically, the employee is worried about upholding double standards if Dr. Mohr faces no consequences, as many teachers were previously let go for not meeting credentials. The employee believes all professionals should be held to the same standards of conduct regardless of their role.

Online Advocacy Training- BBBSMCR
This document provides training for mentors on their role as advocates for their Little matches. It defines mentors as friends, consistent supports focused on fun while maintaining appropriate boundaries. Advocates help others secure their rights and empower them. The training outlines how mentors can advocate in schools, communities, courts and social services. It provides an example of a mentor attending their Little's court date and helping the Little join sports and plan for college. Mentors are advised to contact agency staff with any questions and set up initial match meetings.
Types of relationships
There are four main types of relationships: family relationships which provide warmth and support from a young age; intimate relationships including marriage that involve close sexual contact; friendship relationships outside the family that are freely chosen; and professional relationships formed at work between colleagues, superiors and subordinates that impact work effectiveness.
The truth in black and white part II
The document discusses issues with the management of the Murphy School District. It notes that the school superintendent was arrested for shoplifting wine despite making over $100,000 per year. It questions how someone who cannot properly manage their own finances can manage a multi-million dollar school budget. Poor financial management has led to underperforming schools that fail to provide students with high-quality teachers and make adequate yearly progress. Drastic changes are needed to improve the school system and ensure students receive the education they deserve.
If I were School Superintendent. . .
If the author became the superintendent of the Murphy School District, they would: reduce district administration, hire highly qualified administrators and teachers with starting salaries over $40,000, eliminate retirees collecting double pay and unproductive staff, open one charter school, keep schools open until 6pm, build learning communities and partnerships, and cut their own salary in half.
We commend the governing board
The Way Murphy Governing Board voted on an unspecified issue, with Raymond M. Rodriguez, Theresa M. Grimes, William E. Grimes and Teri Swanson voting yes, and Arthur V. Murillo voting no.

This letter thanks a Facebook fan page for keeping people informed and recommends that the fan page ask Patsy to email the board agenda and tell Jason to post the agenda online before meetings to improve communication and protect the environment, as the writer missed the last board meeting due to lack of communication.
Legal expenses $175,000.00 ?
Legal expenses so far total $175,000, which is equivalent to the salaries of 6 teachers or 3 school administrators. Alternatively, that money could have purchased laptops for every teacher, 2 new school buses, or 8 copy machines. The document discusses using $175,000 in legal fees to instead fund education resources and implies the fees were due to unethical behavior.
To My Teachers
Juan Bobo writes a letter to teachers at Murphy School expressing concerns about teachers' fear of strength and domination that prevents excellence. He encourages teachers to organize among themselves, parents, and students to empower themselves and remove fear and isolation. Juan warns that if teachers fail to act, they may lose him as a student and potentially their jobs.
Stipend for unit administrators
The document discusses a proposal to provide an incentive stipend to school administrators through Title II-A grant funds. The stipend would encourage administrators to work at high-needs, inner-city schools in order to promote student achievement. Currently, teachers receive stipends for student achievement but administrators do not. The federal government has approved a similar incentive stipend based on whether a school meets Adequate Yearly Progress targets. The proposed stipend would make it equitable for all administrators to receive the payment regardless of school population size, as it would be based solely on student achievement. Stakeholders are being asked to consider approving the stipend proposal.

Hiring a New Assistant Middle School Principal
An affluent public-school district in the Midwest is completing construction on a new middle school housing students in Grades 5–8. The school is slated to open in the fall, and the district administrative team has filled all the building’s leadership positions except for the assistant principal. The role of assistant principal includes managing school operations, discipline, parent conferences, and instruction planning.
Maureen Moser, a dynamic, engaging, intelligent leader with eight years of building-level administrative experience, is being transferred to the new building as its lead principal. She has a reputation for being confident, determined, and sociable with all members of the staff and community. Maureen assembled a team of five individuals comprising teachers, support staff, and parents to assist her in selecting the new assistant principal.
Most of the applications received are from certified administrators with no administrative experience. After two months of screening applications, the team has interviewed the five most qualified candidates. The only two candidates with any formal administrative experience are interviewed but dismissed for various reasons. The interviewing team has selected two finalists but is divided on which one would be the better fit for the new school and best serve in the capacity as the assistant. Maureen has strong feelings toward one of the two candidates. While she sees one as a mirror image of herself, she admits the other has complementary traits that would make a well-rounded teammate.
One finalist is Jamie Patte, a fifth-grade teacher at a neighboring progressive suburban elementary school. She is in her ninth year of teaching, all in Grade 5 in the same district. Most recently, Jamie completed her administrative certification program through a prestigious state university. Jamie’s references describe her as organized, dependable, creative, accepting, trusting, and nurturing. These traits surfaced during her first-round interview through her interactions with committee members and responses to the various questions. During a tour of the new building, Jamie was curious about its layout, noted some possible safety issues, and asked insightful questions about how the building meets the needs of the students and programs.
The second finalist is Dwayne Boren, a seventh-grade language arts teacher at a middle school in an urban district. He has 10 years of teaching experience spanning Grades 6–8 mainly in language art.

Self-disclosure is the process of revealing yourself to another pe.docx
Self-disclosure is the process of revealing yourself to another person . Social Pentration Theory argues that we have different layers of disclosure depending up the closeness of the relationship. In the public layers we offer general observable information (e.g., age, gender, employment, major) in our communication with others.

I have two friends that I have known since we were in elementary school, Mars and Joci. As kids, we were pretty close but it wasn't until we were in high school that we started to get closer. We talked more, saw each other outside of school, and just got to know each other better than we ever did before. We hadn't known the deeper, more emotional things about each other because we had only gotten to know one another on a basic level.
It took a few years of us being close, drifting apart, and then coming back to each other for us to get to where we are now. Over the years we disclosed our personal layers, still not having gotten to really open up with each other. The time that we finally got to disclosing our more intimate level was when it got to a point were we argued more than we got along. It took the three of us coming together and having a pretty long talk for us to finally move past the drama and get back to being ourselves. When we went through things like this, arguments between the three of us or even situations that involve other people, we disclosed our more personal insights. Though they were drama-filled, it was when we shared the things about us that we were scared to at first. All of our fears, how we felt about ourselves and each other, everything positive and negative. After having gone through the levels of self-disclosure, I now consider these girls more sisters than just best friends.Phoebe Jenkins
My husband and I’s friendship moved from the public layer of self-disclosure to intimate levels of intimate self-disclosure gradually. When we first met, we only disclosed our public layers. We initially talked about my major in college and his career in the Army. We also talked about our ages and my job as a retail merchandiser. However like most people, we didn’t discuss our personal layers until we were more comfo.

10.Reached my goal
**** Bold Point are focus points for the essay.
The basic mission of the police is to protect and prevent crime and disorder in a society. The police are the public and the public are the police. They both share the same responsibility for community safety. I have accomplished many goals throughout my life, but one of my biggest one I would say would be graduating from the police academy on May 11, 2016 in Haiti because I finished the training, having my financial freedom and reached my goal.
All my life, I knew I wanted to make a difference in my community so being able to accomplish this was an ocean of blessings. Some of the people who were at the graduation were the president of Haiti, the head of police, and the representative of the US Embassy. There was about 1300 people who started the school with us, but unfortunately some of them did not finish the training because they did not score high enough or they did not obey the regulations of the school. The training was very hard for me. We had school every day and sometimes we spent all night doing exercises, but I kept pushing it. I earned three A on the exams. I was shocked because the steps to becoming a police officer were difficult. You can never have been arrested, you must have a grade of an A or be on the test for the school, you must follow the process of the medical examination, and have a good physical condition .Most importantly, you must practice respect and discipline all the time at the school. For example, if the director of academy received news from a person about an aspirant awaiting oath before the oath took place he or she would automatically be kicked out of the graduation .This aspirant would no longer be eligible to become a police officer in the Haitian community.
Also having the power to make the change for the people in my community was what kept me going reach this unforgettable occasion. To be able to protect the interest of the Haitian nation and my community and living a great impact was one of my reasons for becoming a police officer.
Secondly, not only was I going to be making a difference in the community, but in addition, I was going to have financial freedom. this extra income will allow me to help my family more because I was the main provider for my household. Also, I would be able to help my mom and dad when they are in need and start saving for the future. This extra income will help put extra money in my pocket to spend on myself and friends. For example,
Finally, when I was a child my nickname was police, but at that time no one would expect me to let later become one. To see how proud my mom and my dad were to watch he.
Open Letter to the Murphy Governing Board (Revised)
The Office of the Auditor General conducted an audit of the Murphy Elementary School District and found that administrative costs were significantly higher than comparable districts due to extra administrative positions. Since then, the student population has decreased by 500 students under Dr. Mohr's administration, as he did not reduce administrative costs. Current administrators have announced cuts but have not followed through, as evidenced by replacing instructional positions over others. Teachers have less impact on students than classroom teachers. The community believes merging Murphy Schools with other districts will create more competent schools with a sense of community and equal education for all students.
Mind the Gap
This document summarizes the findings of focus groups conducted with senior and mid-level men and women in public relations. Key themes identified include: 1) Informal mentorship and sponsorship are more effective than formal programs. 2) Sponsors and networks are critical for career success. 3) There is a shift towards more women helping other women advance. However, sexism and exclusion from informal networks persist as challenges. Work-life balance issues and biases also impact women's advancement. The study highlights areas for improving gender equality in the public relations field.

Tools for cummunication
The document discusses assessing communication tools on a school district website. It finds that the site needs more frequent updates, collaboration, and participatory features. In particular, the superintendent's blog has not been updated since the beginning of the school year. It also notes that agenda and meeting minutes are not available online, communication and collaboration are not valued across the community, and the district's communication system scores far below standards. It calls for schools to use new technologies and tools to share information openly with the public.
Let's do the Math
The administration claims there is no budget for salaries, supplies, textbooks, field trips, or substitute teachers. However, there is money to rehire 14 retired employees costing $1 million per year. There is also money for board meeting buffets and consultants. Substitute principals are paid $300 per day, but it is unclear if they are certified or fingerprinted. One substitute principal is related to the board secretary, representing a conflict of interest and likely policy violation. The conclusion is that the Murphy administration's spending priorities and lack of transparency have not changed.

Keeping an eye on Murphy
A school district maintains a Facebook page to share updates and information with the community. The page averages 50-60 visits per day and has seen visits increase to over 1900 per month. The district encourages residents to support the page by becoming a fan and telling others in order to further engage the community.
Creating the future using Facebook.
The document discusses using Facebook to increase transparency and public participation in education governance. It proposes that school superintendents could use Facebook to pose questions to the public about policy issues, collect feedback, analyze the information, and present recommendations to the school board. The board would then approve or disapprove based on the input received through Facebook. This process aims to make schools more accountable to their communities and think more independently.

- 1. A message to the Murphy School District Governing Board
- 3. Although I could not be present at the board meeting; I did want to express some concerns I have as an employee in the Murphy School District.
- 4. I was greatly saddened and disappointed when I saw the news broadcast on Dr. Mohr.
- 5. Dr. Mohr is a grown man who runs our schools and makes decisions for our children. Because of his choices, I am concerned for the future of our district, and our children.
- 6. We teach our kids to become contributing members of society; to make good choices. However, by allowing Dr. Mohr to continue as a LEADER of this district we are upholding a double-standard for our children and families.
- 7. We let go a great number of wonderful teachers last year due to the fact that their credentials to be in the classroom were not met.
- 8. Yet, if we let a Superintendent to continue in his position when his credentials are not met and have not been met for the past 5 years, what are we saying?
- 9. We will be saying that: the rule of many is not the rule for one because of his leadership role.
- 10. All standards for professionalism should be the same across the board, no matter if you are a teacher, and Instructional Assistant or the Superintendent of our district.
- 11. I am ashamed of Dr. Mohr’s actions. I feel he disrespected his community of colleagues, families, and children.
- 12. I will feel even more ashamed and disrespected if this is swept under the rug and consequences are not given where they well need to be.
- 13. We need a Superintendent we can trust. One we can respect. This person is no longer Paul Mohr.
- 14. Note: To protect the individual who wrote this letter as well as the source, we have not included any names. Thank you for sharing your concerns. If you would like to contribute to this effort, you may contact us through Facebook. We will honor confidentiality.
