District News
Principals:
Please share this information with your teachers and other staff members who are scheduled to work on the upcoming District Professional Development Day, February 19, 2018.
As a reminder, discretionary use of state personal leave is not allowed on designated professional development days. Teachers are expected to be in attendance to participate in professional learning.
Plano ISD Board Policy DEC (LOCAL) states, “Discretionary use of leave shall not be allowed on the first day of school, the day before a school holiday, the day after a school holiday, days scheduled for end-of-semester or end-of-year examinations, days scheduled for state-mandated assessments or other District-approved tests, or professional development days. The principal may approve use of personal leave on these days after considering the effect of the employee’s absence on the educational program or District operations, as well as the availability of substitutes.”
Teachers who are absent on February 19, 2018 for any reason will need to submit their absence in TEAMS and make up the missed content of the required professional development, not necessarily the hours. This also applies to teachers who may be on approved leave during this time.
Each principal will determine the best way for absent teachers to make up the missed professional development. The “make up” will not be scheduled through the Academic Services department, however, content area coordinators may be available to provide guidance on aligned experiences at the principal’s request.
