Every staff member must have a current IPDP in Frontline.   

Brand new staff members 

Please use your hire date as the start date of the IPDP. 

If you have an Ohio-issued license, your IPDP end date is when your Ohio-issued license expires.

If you do not have a license, your IPDP end date is 5 years from the year you were hired, expiring on June 30. So, if you started August 14, 2023, your IPDP dates are 8/14/2023-6/30/2028. 

Returning INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF:

• For those with a state license, your IPDP must cover the dates of your current license(s).  

  • No matter when you were hired, your IPDP will start on the certificate start date.   If you have multiple licenses with different start/end dates, please review alignment here.

• For those with a permanent license, you can create an IPDP that begins on your hire date and expires June 30, with the year being 5 years in the future (hired in 2020 - ending date is 2025). You must keep your IPDP current in Frontline, so please check your IPDP regularly.

Returning NON-INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF:

• Your IPDP will be a 5-year plan.

  • If you were hired after July 1, 218, then the start date of your IPDP will be your start date.  The ending date will be June 30, with the year being 5 years in the future (hired in 2020 - ending date is 2025). 

The directions for creating an IPDP (video and step sheet) are below.  Check out Sample IPDP Goals & PD Plan for examples you can use as you create your IPDP.
