INFORMATION
UPDATE
 from Ray Reiner,
Executive Director

May 2008

To All HASA Members:

 I want to take this opportunity to share the following information with all of our members.

1. HASA will offer $1,000 scholarships to be awarded at the Retirement Reception. Detailed information will be available in the very near future. We will notify everyone when this is available on our website, www.hasahisd.org.

2. The HASA retirement reception will be at The Houston City Club on June 9, 2008, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. located at Nine Greenway Plaza, One City Club Drive. Again, this year the cost will be $20.00 per person. Please call 713-622-0652 or e-mail the HASA office. You can mail your check to Houston Association of School Administrators, 3000 Weslayan, Suite 318, Houston, TX 77027. Please make plans to attend and ask your friends to join us as we plan to honor our members who are retiring. Please RSVP.

3. If you plan to retire this year and would like to be honored at the Retirement Reception, please call Pat or Thelma at the HASA office 713-622-0652.

Sincerely,

Ray Reiner

ADMINISTRATIVE CONSULTATION ITEMS

1. HASA requests information and discussion on how Administrative positions are advertised and posted.

2. Inequities in support (Teacher Assistants) and Teachers in our Special Education Classrooms. Many Schools are overstaffed and some need additional support. What can be done to have equity for all children? What is the follow up to the communication issues of generic classrooms in Special Education.

3. HASA requests information about the IAT process in Special Education. Who do Principals go to for assistance? Who owns the process?

4. HASA requests information about the new Literacy Initiative for next year. Principals want information so they can plan appropriately for in-service days/staff development.
