GDL: Support Staff Development Opportunities
The School of the Osage Board of Education recognizes that well-trained support staff employees positively impact student achievement and are essential for the district's mission and the efficient and economical operation of the schools. Therefore, the district will provide relevant professional development activities for the support staff of the district. The superintendent or designee is directed to create a support staff professional development committee (SSPDC). The district will conduct needs assessments that serve to identify the professional development needs of support staff employees.
Support staff may be granted leave to attend classes or conferences, meet with mentors or participate in other approved professional growth activities in accordance with the district's leave policy.
