Q: Explain how Head Start teacher who do not have degrees will be able to keep their jobs after years of service with Head Start and how will they be able to continue their education to get Bachelor\'s Degree? Also will you ever separeate Teachers/Drivers?
A: All Mercer County Head Start / Early Head Start teachers have a Bachelors Degree or higher (as mandated by the Performance Standards).
We're not sure what you mean by separating teachers/drivers. Classroom teachers are not bus drivers. Busses and bus drivers are contracted services, except for Linda, who drives a program bus.

Q: Terri: As the teacher position for Reynolds II classroom has been recently posted, I have noticed that it has HSSAP / state behind. This has never been posted in the past and I am wondering why it is of importance now?
A: This question was explained in depth at the May 15, 2009 in-service meeting at the church. If you have any further questions please contact Diane Daly.

Q: I am just curious as to why some staff at the Hetra building are permitted to come and go as they please, make their own hours, park in designated no parking spaces,make their own parking spaces and delegate their jobs to others...etc...while the majority of us follow the rules and have respect enough for our jobs to be responsible no matter how disappointed we are. Some of us feel we are working many jobs to fill in where others are lacking. This is one reason morale is the way it is.
A: Much of this has already been addressed and corrected. Thanks for your concern.
