D11 seeks community input on new Employee Handbook
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The District 11 (D11) Board of Education is holding listening sessions to gather ideas for the schools and to share its progress as it develops the new Employee Handbook.
In Dec. 2024, the board decided to end the Master Agreement it had with the Colorado Springs Education Association (CSEA) union. Now, the district has created an Employee Engagement Group to meet once a month for two hours to develop the handbook, which will replace the master agreement that only covers teachers. The group will also plan employee recognition and other engagement opportunities.
Anyone interested in sharing ideas or thoughts about D11 schools is invited to attend the listening sessions. They are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. on:
Tuesday, Feb. 4 at Michell High School library
Monday, Feb. 10, at Palmer High School, lower library
Monday, Feb. 24 at Coronado High School library
Thursday, March 6 at Doherty High School, location is still to be determined
'We look forward to hearing from the community,' said Parth Melpakam, president of the board. 'Two board members will be at every session to hear concerns and answer questions. We also want to hear from the community about their ideas and concerns about D11 schools and student progress.'
