Building Funds. The employer recognizes the value of professional visitations by certificated staff members to other schools within and outside the District, attendance at professional instructional improvement conferences and other meetings within limits established by the employer. Monies budgeted for professional visitations, conferences and meetings shall be allocated by the employer to each building at the rate of one day’s substitute pay (long term) or monetary equivalent per OEA member FTE. The total amount allocated to each FTE may be applied to the cost of a substitute when they utilize a visitation, or an equivalent amount applied to the cost of a workshop, meeting, or conference. Members who wish to access the fund shall do so by submitting a visitation form (see appendix P) to the building staff development chair for approval of the building principal/administrator. Visitation Funds for an itinerant or staff member who has been assigned by a department rather than a building site will be allocated to his/her department or program. Funding requests will be handled by the assigning department and shall not be provided by individual buildings.

An accounting of the funds in this account will be shared with the staff at the beginning of the year, the mid-point of the year, and at the close of the school year. If the money allocated for the building is not utilized in any calendar year it shall be carried over to the subsequent year and will be kept in a line item designated for visitation, conferences and meetings. Carry over money in this fund will not increase the fund beyond the equivalent of twice the yearly allocation total.
