Leave Page for 2024-25
If you have not already, please bookmark the leave page. It should answer most any question you have. The most common questions we receive are about 5% (Red) days and requesting and exception.
Remember that the 5% calendar (linked on the leave page) is not a live update. This means that a day and move from orange to red at any time. If you enter a day and it locks you out, talk with your principal to see if it is possible to secure coverage. In addition, if you are a teacher who went in and marked every Friday "just in case" please be mindful that there people who need those days off. You can certainly mark off a day anticipating a situation, but please don't pick the most popular days and until until 24 hours before to determine if you feel like being gone or not. This helps all of our staff get the most out of the PTO model.
Brodie Besler - Facilities
Brodie is highly deserving of the Kearney Employee of the Month recognition. In a district our size, there are constant requests for building needs and concerns. When those jobs as assigned to Brodie, you can guarantee they will be completed in a timely and efficient manner.
Brodie is always willing to help and goes the extra mile to make sure that work orders are thoroughly completed. He is very responsive and willing to communicate to ensure that his work is done well. Brodie also demonstrates patience with questions and concerns with facility requests. Overall, Brodie embodies the qualities that we at KPS want to see in our staff across the board!
Sara Langan - Bright Futures
What makes her stand out even more is her heart. She's a wonderful team player, always willing to go above and beyond to support her colleagues. Over the past months, many of our colleagues have faced personal challenges and without fail. She steps in when needed, whether that means taking on extra work, offering a listening ear or helping someone. Her kindness, generosity, and unshakable support have made a world of difference
Her work ethic is unparalleled, but it's her compassion, empathy, and ability to lift others up that truly make her deserving of this recognition. Sara makes out team stronger, and we are so lucky to have her. She is the definition of a team player and an unsung hero.
