Congratulations to Diego Aubert for winning 4th place in his category of Energy: Chemical from the International
Science and Engineering Fair. He won $500. This is a wonderful accomplishment as the fair was extremely
competitive with 1,700 projects from nearly 80 countries from around the world. Diego had an innovative project that
sought to optimize the production of electricity using microbes that digested waste water as food. Pearl Dixon also
competed and had a great experience. Way to go, Badgers!

Student sought to fill vacancy on the Technology Oversight Committee: TUSD's Technology Oversight
Committee needs your help! We have an opening on the committee for one high school student. If you are interested

held once per month after school hours. Incoming sophomore, junior, and senior students are encouraged to apply.

Staff Announcements Please review the final schedule with your students.
The district is looking for certified teachers who are good with technology to become Teacher Technology
Liaisons. This is a new program that will designate campus liaisons to train and assist campus teachers with
instructional technology in the classroom. Although this person will not assume the role of a computer technician, the
individual should be proficient with how computers can be used in instructional settings, able to explain basic
computer concepts to others, and comfortable with troubleshooting problems working with computers. The Teacher
Technology Liaisons must be able to work with teachers before and after school and must be able to attend all TTL
professional development training sessions which will be held once a month. Please note that all professional
development training sessions for teacher technology liaisons will be held after school hours. The stipend for the
Teacher Technology Liaisons will be $2,500 per school year ($1,250 paid in December and $1,250 paid in June).
Each school will receive one liaison for every 400 students. Teachers will still be required to meet their daily duties as
a teacher on their campuses. The stipend will cover the work connected to Teacher Technology Liaisons beyond their
contract day. If you are interested in becoming a Teacher Technology Liaison, please let Dr. Green know you would
like to be considered.
Badger Pride!
