A4 Cont: The non-systems folks have had a few online training systems available. We've also had county wide trainings/conference in the summers. I'm still looking for that magic system that would work to keep them engaged and help improve their skill set.

A4: #edCTOchat For some staff, they are invited to attend the IETL events and 2 of the 3 have obtained their CETL. They are given time within the day to work on self-guided or online training/webinars they feel necessary.

A3: #edCTOchat Slack security channels, but no specific websites or Twitter handles. I've tried several different podcast but I don't like the format.

A2: #edCTOchat I attend our local IETL meetings and LTC events. An occasional 1 or 2 day conference if it is within driving distance.

Due to the current conditions we are experiencing, it is necessary to close all Central 301 schools today, Tuesday, January 26th. All buildings will be closed, and all school activities are canceled.

Be inspired by our staff's reflections of the challenging 2020 year. They share the positive surprises they found in a unique year. This is the first of two in the series. #WeAreCentral ow.ly/xfKy50D5ahz
