DESCRIPTION
The proposal would require the state board of education to establish, on or before January first of each school year, a schedule of no less than four nor greater than six specific professional development days for the next school year. School districts may recognize those days in adoption of their school calendar.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education would schedule professional development activities, workshops, conferences, and other work sessions for certificated personnel only on scheduled professional development days or weekends and the summer months. The proposal does not limit the discretion of a school district to schedule or participate in professional development activities.
This proposal would apply to activities scheduled for the 2004-2005 school year and each school year thereafter, and shall not apply to activities scheduled for the 2003-2004 school year.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
