The Board of Education believes that study is a prerequisite for professional growth of staff and, therefore, encourages the participation of professional staff members in in-service and other training programs.

The District Administrator shall plan programs of staff development for professional staff members. Such staff development programs should be designed to address the professional development needs of staff members who are working at a particular level, involved in a particular course or subject, or need to be prepared for a new assignment. The development plan should be designed to meet the needs of staff members or curriculum areas in each school.

The Board may reimburse staff members for the costs incurred in participation therein, subject to prior approval of the District Administrator.

Professional staff members are expected to comply with the Professional Development Plan requirements of their license and provide timely verification of progress towards fulfilling this responsibility.
