Common use of Core Training Clause in Contracts

Core Training. Approved core training must be relevant to the employee’s assignment. Core training consists of all designated District offerings. Employees who can demonstrate progress toward achieving competencies outside their assignment may apply for a waiver to take classes related to the new competency. In lieu of one designated District offering an employee may substitute a pre-approved professional/OSPI-sponsored conference. Attendance at a conference may count for Bethel Core Training only if seven hours are provided on a specific topic (i.e. 7-hour workshop on school medical issues at a nurses’ conference). Prior approval through the waiver process is required. Employees in specialty areas including world languages and Special Services may request waivers for 14 hours of Bethel Core Training not offered by the District. Waivers must be approved by the area director and/or the District/Association committee.
