Obion County Board of Education
March 4, 2013

Background Information:

TSBA recently worked with a division within the State Department of Education on updating this policy which was formerly entitled “In-Service and Staff Development Opportunities.”  Besides the change to the title, the policy was updated to mirror the current federal and state standards.  In addition, this updated policy lists the standards as adopted by the State Board of Education rather than simply referring to them by name. The Board’s current policy is attached for your information.

Staff Recommendation:

I recommend approval of the amendment to Board Policy #5.113 – In-Service and Professional Learning Opportunities, on first reading.
