Stipend Purchasing

As you continue to purchase with your Vanguard stipend, be sure to keep in mind....


  • Purchases must be made by March 15 or the funds are recalled from the school.

  • The items belong to Vanguard. If you leave Fulton County, they must be returned.

March Professional Development

The Fulton calendar has Friday, March 10 as a teacher work day and Monday, March 13 as a professional development day.


Because we are asking Vanguard members to attend or present at Bear Creek's Redefining Learning Conference on Friday, March 10, your teacher work day and PD day will be reversed, unless you are attending a different REQUIRED county training.


If you attend/present at Bear Creek's RLC on Friday, March 10th:

- Friday is your PD Day and Monday, March 13 is your teacher work day.


If you do not attend/present at Bear Creek's RLC on Friday, March 10th:

- Friday is your teacher work day and Monday, March 13 you should participate in professional development at your school.
