Professional Development and Materials. The district understands the importance of Professional Development and the need of administrators to continue to enhance their professional skillset. Each administrator shall receive a professional development allocation of $1,500 per year for expenses related to attendance at workshops/conferences and/or technology related expenses. This amount may be carried over up to a maximum of $4,500. Attendance at a national conference is allowed after two years of administrative employment in Sequim and is then limited to once every two years. Amounts reimbursed shall not exceed Washington State in-state travel per diem without prior approval of the superintendent. If the district requires administrator attendance at a specific training, those monies will not be taken from the administrator’s PD allotment. This reimbursement shall be budgeted through accounting tools other than the discretionary budgets for the buildings and programs. All obtained materials and publications will remain the property of the district. The district shall reimburse the administrator for necessary and actual expenses incurred in the attendance of such meetings, an estimate of which shall be prepared in advance and presented to the Superintendent for his/her information.
