EPIC PROJECT PROCEDURES
If you or a group of educators have any additions to you curriculum that will enhance the education of our students, the EPIC Council requests that an EPIC Packet be completed and submitted. This way the EPIC Council will be made aware of any changes to the curriculum, and more importantly to help support every teacher in improving the education of all Putnam County students. Please follow the procedures so that your project can be submitted and given the proper support.
1. Fill out a GOAL REQUEST form for a goal or educational improvement that you feel needs attention.
2. Give the completed GOAL REQUEST form to your building principal or EPIC
representative.
3. The Goal committee chairperson may be asked to attend the next EPIC meeting, at
which time the request will be considered.
4. Upon preliminary approval by EPIC, the Goal Committee Chairperson will be given
an EPIC packet.
5. An EPIC packet contains a PROJECT APPLICATION form and a PROJECT BUDGET form. Complete these forms and give them to your building principal or EPIC representative before proceeding further. This will ensure that your project is fully support with all the necessary resources.
6. Implement your project. If you need any support or resources, please do not hesitate to ask any EPIC Member.
7. Once your project has been completed, you will be asked to submit a COMMITTEE REPORT. This will help both your committee and the EPIC Council to evaluate your project for any improvements in the future.
8. You will also complete a REQUEST FOR TIME SHEET. This will ensure that the proper compensation and financial cost have been taken care of.
If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments about the process, please do not hesitate to contact your building representative, building principal, or Mike Olson (EPIC Chairperson). Thank-you for all you do for our students.
