Educators must request to attend professional development experiences that are hosted by outside organizations and/or if there are costs associated with the experiences and/or if the experience takes place during contractual hours. The request is forwarded to the building principal or appropriate district leader through the completion of this request form.
You will receive an email containing your completed request form. Please retain that email for your records and for later use when requesting reimbursement. When requesting reimbursement you will complete this form. You will be asked to attach your initial request as well as proof of payment.
Requests that are approved also need to be entered into Absence Management as a professional development “absence” even if the experience is virtual.
The Course Credit and Reimbursement Workflow is an electronic process in place to support course approval requests and reimbursement requests. You will complete the form twice, the first time for approval and second for reimbursement.
All courses, credit and reimbursement as well as credit only, need to be approved by the Superintendent prior to the start of the course. An instructional youtube video to guide you through the process is provided below. Please be sure to watch the video before you start your next submission.
Course Credit and Reimbursement
The payment system will require you to submit your proof of completion paperwork, via this link: Course Credit and Reimbursement, within three months of completing the class. This includes a grades transcript, proof of payment, and your original pre-approval pdf. Moving forward, reimbursements will be disbursed three times each year: October, March, and June.
