TEACHER CONFERENCES

Any teacher who would like to attend a conference which relates to the education of children and specifically to his/her area of teaching, must submit a Conference Request Form to the Building Principal.  A form may be obtained from the Main Office in each building.  In addition, an electronic Conference Request Form must be submitted online using My Learning Plan.  This request should be submitted ten (10) days prior to the conference date and should include all estimated expenses.  Not every teacher may attend a conference every year.  The administration will try to see that conferences which are of value to the total program are approved, on as fair and equitable a basis as possible, within budgetary limits.

Teachers who attend a conference may be asked to share ideas and information with other department members or the entire building staff.

An Expense Voucher (backside of pink copy), for purpose of reimbursement, should be completed and forwarded to the Business Office.  All expenses must be documented with proper receipts.

A purchase order may be used for payment of anticipated expenses itemized on a Conference Request Form.  A District purchase order will be processed only if a requisition is submitted for approval in conjunction with the conference request.

If there are no reimbursable expenses associated with the conference, teachers need only submit a request on My Learning Plan.
