Today's dynamic and rapidly changing society, with its tremendous accumulation of new knowledge and the attending obsolescence in some areas of practice, makes it imperative that all staff members, teachers, clerical, technical, operations maintenance, and administration be engaged in a continuous program of professional and technical growth in order that they may be qualified to provide a quality educational program for all students being served by the District.

It is the policy of the Board of Education that a program of in-service training be established to provide an opportunity for the continuous professional and technical growth of teachers of the school system. The program for in-service training for the next year will be outlined in the proposed budget for that year with estimated costs to be approved by the Board of Education.

As a result of the operation of this policy, staff members will become knowledgeable regarding new developments and changes in their specialized fields and will utilize new and improved methods in practice.

The administrative staff, employing administration and management techniques consistent with modern management development, will provide leadership, which will assist each staff member to make a maximum contribution to the District's effort to provide a quality educational program for all students.
