As part of Public Schools Month, the Visalia-Mineral King Lodge conducts a special recognition in support of local schools. Each year, VUSD principals and supervisors recommend outstanding employees for consideration as the Visalia-Mineral King Masonic Lodge's Teacher, School Employee, and Administrator of the Year. The Superintendent's Cabinet conducts a final selection process and submits three names for each category. The Masonic Awards Committee then selects the finalists that will be honored and has a tradition of keeping the finalists' names a secret until the night of the awards. Awards night was held on Thursday, April 20, 2017. VUSD is proud to announce this year's honorees: ? Teacher of the Year: Jeff Brown - Science Teacher, Green Acres Middle School ? School Employee of the Year: LaDonna Jones - Library Media Technician, Ridgeview Middle School ? Administrator of the Year: Sue Wallace-Sims - Principal, Golden Oak Elementary School [cid:image008.jpg at 01D2BDDF.1D9A16C0] Pictured L-R: Jeff Brown, LaDonna Jones, Sue Wallace-Sims Todd Oto, Ed.D.

Three years ago when Visalia Unified began implementing Linked Learning Academies, we sought industry partners to help organize and participate in industry advisory committees. These committees support pathways and academies by reviewing curriculum, assisting with projects, recommending appropriate equipment and assisting with work-based learning activities. Mr. Mohsin was one of the first community partners to step up and help with our Computer Science and Business advisory committees. Mr. Mohsin has been a dedicated partner, assisting with multiple projects. Mr. Mohsin was a great supporter of the BE FUTURE READY Conference, assisting with the printing of materials and acting as an Industry Panelist. This past fall, Mr. Mohsin nominated Visalia Unified School District, and more specifically, our Visalia Unified Futures Project program for the 2 Million and Change philanthropic initiative sponsored by Staples. The Visalia Unified Futures Project is an initiative to support and promote work-based learning activities for students in Visalia. With Mr. Mohsins support, the Visalia Unified Futures Project was awarded $3,500 for scholarships to be presented to students completing work-based internships this summer. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the students and staff of Visalia Unified, we would like to thank Mr. Mohsin for his outstanding support and Staples for their generous donation to the Visalia Unified Futures Project.

PBIS is a systematic approach to school discipline that provides for reinforcement of expectations and interventions for students in need of support. School teams have been working over a period of 3 years to develop both proactive and intervention services for students in need of behavior support. The structure is a 3 Tiered model of support. Tier 1 is for all students, Tier 2 is for some students in need of additional help, and Tier 3 for more intensive services. All schools were required to meet both behavior and academic goals over the course of the year. Silver- (Recognition for Tier 1-2 implementation) Divisadero Middle School, Four Creeks Elementary School, Green Acres Middle School, and Valley Oak Middle School Bronze- (Recognition for Tier 1 implementation) Mineral King Elementary School For more information regarding PBIS, visit www.pbischampionmodelsystem.com/about.html.
