The Board of Education believes that the success of educational programs and operational goals depends on the professional growth and effectiveness of the entire staff. The Board also recognizes its responsibility to encourage staff development through goal setting, budgetary commitment, and monitoring staff development activities. The Board encourages individual pursuit of staff development experiences. The Superintendent of Schools will have the authority to approve release time and expenses for individual staff members’ attendance at professional training conferences, study councils, inservice courses, workshops, summer study grants, school visitations, professional organizations, etc., within budgetary constraints.
