3242 - PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSURE
The Board of Education directs the Superintendent to establish a Professional Development Committee that is in compliance with State law and applicable terms of the negotiated agreement with the St. Henry Education Association.
The Committee may be a District committee or one that is part of a consortium of school districts.
The Committee shall be responsible for establishing the guidelines by which the Committee is to function. Among these guidelines should be:
| A. | a set of bylaws governing when the Committee will meet and where, how the committee will select and replace members, the manner in which voting will occur, and the procedure the Committee will use to hear appeals of its decisions; | |
| B. | the criteria that will be used to determine whether or not a professional development plan will be approved; | |
| C. | procedures for assessing the extent to which a staff member's professional development plan has been accomplished. |
All Professional Development Committee meetings are subject to the Sunshine Law.
If the District will be part of a Local Professional Development Committee operated by a consortium, the Consortium shall negotiate with appropriate bargaining units the number of members of the District's bargaining unit that shall be members of the Committee. The Superintendent, in concert with other superintendents in the consortium shall determine which administrators from each district will serve on the Committee.
The Superintendent shall report periodically to the Board on the operation of this important committee and on the progress staff members are making in fulfilling their professional development plans.
