The District-wide staff development committee expects that the following criteria for spending money will be communicated to and understood and adhered to by all staff and members of the site community. Support Student Learning: All staff development will support student learning through increased/improved staff effectiveness as reflected in the District Improvement Agenda, the School Improvement Plan, and Professional Development Plans. All staff development funds will demonstrate a clear relationship between specific goals and results. Site staff development committees, in conjunction with their leadership teams will develop a process for assessing the effectiveness of the school staff development activities. Improved student performance must be part of that assessment. Staff development funds will be focused on development of professional skills and are used primarily for group activities, not individual request. Decisions about how staff development funds will be spent are made by a representative group of the site community and made available to the entire site community. To maximize skill development, staff development will have follow-up over time and will be supported at the site through the PDP process. Staff development funds should not be used to pay for college credit portions of the workshop fees. Expenditures for food, travel, and lodging should be strictly limited and carefully monitored by the staff development committee. Staff development hourly rate will be paid for the time beyond the defined workday only.
