[Mail_supt] FW: RemotEDx Connectivity Champions

[Thor Sage]

Good morning!
I wanted to draw your attention to the job posting below.  The RemoteEDx Connectivity Champion initiative is part of a larger, $20m program to help schools deliver more effective instruction to remote learners.  In order for MVECA members to reap the most benefit from this initiative, it will be important that qualified professionals are identified for these regional roles.  It will undoubtedly be challenging for the MCOECN to find qualified professionals that are willing to accept positions that are only funded for one year.  If you know anyone with instructional or technology experience that might be a good match, please forward this on.
Thank you,
Thor
