Policy 4410 – General Professional Development

The Board encourages all employees to be engaged in a continuous program of professional and
technical growth in order that they may be qualified to provide quality educational programs and
services for all students.

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 for all employees.
The in-service training program for each 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, employees 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
modem management development, will provide leadership that will assist each employee to
make a maximum contribution to the District’s effort to provide quality educational programs
and services for all students.
