In support of employee professional growth the Recruitment and Retention Office in the WCPSS Human Resources Department administers tuition assistance based on the following eligibility and selection criteria. Tuition assistance covers tuition costs only; fees and textbooks are not covered. Because of the large number of eligible employees, a lottery system will be used to choose among eligible applicants.

Spoke with David Howell on Friday afternoon and He told me he would work on it that he had been busy in meeting last week.

Keep me posted and if I need to contact Tom Dixon I will do it.

I was just trying to give everyone a chance to figure it out.

I was asked today by the Assistant principal, Mrs. Sanford, to supply her with documentation on my accounts. Do you have an estimation as to when something definite will be recorded as to my position here at Apex High School? I was also wondering whether you could be the liaison to my principal, Dr. Dixon or Mrs. Sanford, on my behalf. I believe that your credibility and position put you in a better place to discuss my role here.

Thank you so much for all that you are doing.
I really do want and need this job.

Jane

I received your voice mail yesterday in between meetings. I have heard from DAvid Howell and he is attempting to determine if you can be paid with funds other than voc ed which appears to be the source of our problems. In turn I have placed a call to my friend Kathy Sullivan and she was out of town yesterday and will be back today. I feel hopeful that we will get this cleared up as best we can this week.

Things are not always as simple as you would believe. I have been fighting with both Governor Hunt and Easley over Teacher Reciprocity for three years now and they are beating me down.

Talk with you soon.
Susan Harrison
