OPEB Benefit Meetings Scheduled for Retiring District Employees

Provo District has now put into place a method by which the retirement benefits paid by Provo District (OPEBs: normally referred to as Grandfathered or Lump Sum pay out options) can be delivered to retired employees. This process is called a special pay plan or separation pay plan. If you are contemplating retirement this year, or in the next year or two, you must attend one of the following meetings to learn how this plan impacts your benefits.

The meetings will be held:

All meetings will be held at the District Office in Room 38. You are only asked to attend one of the four listed meetings. There is only room for 40 individuals in each session and you must RSVP to AllysonB@provo.edu to reserve a seat.

If you qualify for retirement benefits from Provo District and are planning retirement within the next couple of years, it would be to your best interest to attend one of these meetings.

Provo District Technology Support Department Prepares for Online Testing

Between April 7, 2008 and May 23, 2008, by legislative mandate, over twenty five thousand tests will be taken by students throughout Provo City School District. These Criterion Reference Tests (CRT) will cover Language Arts, Math and Science subjects. Approximately 12,300 tests will be taken by elementary students and 12,200 tests will be taken by secondary students. This year, about 10% of those tests will be taken on paper and 90% will be taken using a computer online.

To prepare for this enormous increase in computer based testing, the technology support department has been working hard, spending plenty of overtime hours, to ensure the testing period will continue with little or no interruption.

Throughout the district:

This massive project will enhance Provo City School District’s network to provide better and quicker access to those students and teachers involved in online testing.
