Dear John,

I would like first to welcome you back to the district. Your new assignment is at the High _
School from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In that assignment you will serve as the maintenance
mechanic/electrician and perform all of the duties as required in said capacity except
exclusively to DHS. On occasion you may be reassigned temporarily or as the districts
needs deem necessary.

While you are assigned to DHS you are to remain there for yourfull shift. When you
have a need for materials or supplies you will submit a request in Writing to my attention.
All work orders are to be approved by this office prior to performing the work unless
there is an emergency. Work orders will be submitted by Billie Anderson to my office for
review; I will then assign them accordingly, enter them into our database and then submit
to you.

All work order requirements remain the same. You will fill out the date work was done,
the amount oftime it took, indicate its completion, sign and return to Jeanne via courier.

I hope that you continue to enjoy contributing to the betterment of the children of
Danbury and I hope this new start opens the door to new and exciting challenges for you.
