File: GCID - Professional Staff Training, Workshops and Conferences File: GCID - Professional Staff Training, Workshops and ConferencesBecause the Board desires its professional staff to stay abreast of current trends and developments in education, the annual budget of the District shall provide a specified amount for school visitations, conferences and conventions.
Employees authorized by the superintendent to represent the school system at such educational meetings will be allowed salary and expenses in conformance with regulations on expense reimbursement.
Employees other than those selected as official representatives may be allowed by the superintendent to attend recognized educational meetings and conferences with no loss of salary but without allowance for expense. The salary of a substitute may be deducted from a teacher's salary for excused absence for attendance at such meetings when so specified by the superintendent.
Absence for the purposes of attending area, State or National meetings may be approved by the superintendent within amounts budgeted for such purposes. Any leave for visitations or conferences involving exceptional expenses shall require prior Board action.
