Professional Improvement Allocation Clause Samples

Professional Improvement Allocation. An annual dollar amount will be allocated for the professional improvement of certificated staff members for each year of this Agreement. Said allocation shall be based on one day of the daily substitute cost (including payroll taxes) times the total number of certificated SVEA members. Each building’s allocation will be based on the October 1 FTE count; specialist and itinerant staff members will be included in their home school’s allocation. This budget will be allocated to each building’s Learning Improvement Team. Each certificated employee may apply for the funds based on individual or group activities which may include; professional growth strand, classes, conferences, workshops, professional materials, and in-building training. These funds shall not be used for salaries. These activities must be consistent with the District Mission Statement and Learning Goals. We encourage any in-building activities to make available the option of clock hours or credit when appropriate. It is the responsibility of each building Learning Improvement Team to submit a report to the Mutual Interest Committee at the end of each school year. This report shall include a list of activities funded throughout the previous school year and recommendations for the upcoming year. This information will assist the Mutual Interest Committee’s evaluation of the program.
