Board and staff set PD expectations, discuss K–12 plan and timing
Summary
Board reviewed a K–12 professional development plan (ELA/math) and discussed timing: staff proposed annual cycles with a draft by July 1 and board review in August, and monthly professional development during the school year.
Board and staff discussed a K–12 comprehensive professional development (PD) plan for ELA and math that would be produced annually from teacher needs assessments. Speaker 1 explained the intended process: gather spring survey data, build the plan and publish it for community visibility via the dashboard. The group discussed timing; one board member suggested the plan be finished prior to the school year so summer and fall consultants and contracts can be finalized.
On timing, a board member stated: "The plan will be done by July 1." The board also discussed monthly PD expectations during the school year, with staff describing an approach that provides an initial multi-day academy in summer followed by monthly follow-up sessions. The board asked staff to revise the PD language to reflect annual planning cycles and to name implementation milestones for board review.
