Reimbursement Restrictions. a. When a unit member’s contract is resigned, non-‐renewed, or terminated, the unit member shall not be eligible to receive professional growth reimbursement for any courses taken during the quarter or semester in which the resignation, non-‐renewal, or termination is effective unless the course was completed before the effective date of the resignation, non-‐renewal, or termination. b. The maximum number of hours recognized for reimbursement to any one (1) unit member each fiscal year (July 1st thru June 30th) shall be twenty-‐four (24) quarter hours or sixteen (16) semester hours when paid in accordance with paragraph 1 (C) (3) of this Article.

For conferences and workshops in which college credit is earned, the Board will not reimburse the unit member for expenses associated with both the conference and professional growth college credit. d.
