The Board of Education believes that training is important for continued growth of staff and, therefore, encourages the participation of classified staff members in in-service and other training programs.

The Superintendent may plan and implement a program of in-service training for classified staff members.

The Board may reimburse staff members for the costs incurred in participation therein, subject to prior approval of the Superintendent.

Participation in the program shall be voluntary unless considered part of the duties of any participating staff member according to provisions in a negotiated, collectively-bargained agreement or other contractual arrangements.
