Training

Each employee is encouraged to develop skills through on-duty and off-duty training. When funds are available, training will be provided by the School. Any school-year employee who receives training at School expense during the summer is expected to work for the School the following year. Any employee who chooses not to work at the School during the year following summer training shall reimburse the School for the cost of the training. Training paid by the School during the School year is exempt from this ruling.

A. In-Service Training. Workshops for school employees will be held as needed. Each department supervisor will be responsible for assessment of training and will direct requests in writing to the Principal or designee for any training. An employee who attends off-site training will be required to provide In-Service-Training to the staff.

B. Off-Site Training. All training which requires out-of-area travel and overnight stay will be subject to approval by the Board. A training request will be placed on Agenda at the next regular Board meeting after the request and a report from the Business Manager for funding availability has been submitted. All government – required training and/or meetings that have not provided sufficient notice shall be exempt from this section; however, travel for such training and/or meetings shall be placed on the agenda for ratification at the next Board meeting.
